a. What is electronic mailing? Give its basic concept and usage.
Electronic mail, also written as E-mail, is an electronic transmission of messages, letters and documents. It includes point to point services in which text file, that is, sent or received can be edited. The basic concept of E-mail is to send and receive messages as quickly as possible with the addition of sounds, graphics, links and etc, which can never be possible through the old postage system as that took long and also has to go through countries borders.
E-mail typically is used for conversations that are not urgent and for dialogues that are expected to continue over a period of time. The structure of e-mail eliminates interruptions associated with telephone conversations or electronic pagers. It also permits asynchronous communication, which can benefit both the sender and the recipient in our busy society.
