Does e-mail make people get closer or drift¹ apart?

Nowadays, more and more people are exchanging a great variety of imformation by using electronic³ mails instead of traditional ways of mailing letters. Some people think that e-mail makes relationships among people closer, while some others maintain⁴ that makes people drift apart.

Those who hold the former opinion insist that the appearence of e-mail makes communication quicker and more convenient⁵. By e-mail people can deliver more information including pictures and sounds. However, some others think e-mail with the same format² and printfont includes less emotion, then traditional letters written by hand. Most people use e-mails to deliver information instead of feelings.

From my point of view, e-mail does bring great convenience for people, but it is not a better way to express our feelings than traditional letters. Our hand-writing on the paper can deliver much emotion. Therefore, when you want to express your love and care to someone, writing a letter to her or him by hand is a wise choice.
