Overview
Computer-mediated communication and the virtual world are features of daily life for so many people, and have it been for so long, that the phrase "new media" has lost most of its prestige. Beginning with the first electronic mail experiments in the early 1970s, computer users have been exploring new ways to connect across physical and temporal boundaries. E-mail was widely accepted by the business community as the first broad electronic communication medium and was the first ‘e-revolution’ in business communication.

This training focus on email as an communication tool in the business life, since email is the most popular of all internet activities. Are you one of those busy people who relies on e-mail to organize your day? The amount of business information, documents, and e-mail is overwhelming.
