Hello!
Well today is looking cloudy and a lilltle rain for the snow! Rain is good which means more snow will be melting away!
I have been busy with one of my friends kids and of course they all seem attracted to my computer, even the youngest one who is only 4 years old! It makes me think about how can a child be so eager to use the computer at such a young age? Wha is the basic attraction at such young age, because there was nothing flashy or flickering, maybe it's because he observed to his older brother and sisters to how they react to it. What we see is what we do, especially at that such young age! So, also makes me think that children nowadays would rather prefer to learn on the computer than sit in a classroom and learn? It amazes me.

Yes, I enjoy using email as a communication tool, rather than using it as a conversation tool. The only time I would use it as a conversational tool is, when I can't converse with anyone that's not online for a day or trying to get a hold of my friends and family. To me, email is realiable and a fast way to send messages to people. Email is asynchronus, you get to check your email at your own convienence without having to respond immediately. I think that's why people like email so much!
Yes, I think I'm able to deliver it's meaning when sending messages to people. I find myself double-checking my email before I send it to reciepients to make sure my meaning gets across.
One of the elements of netiquette I learned is, to manage one-topic message at a time. When multiple topics are sent in one email, it's more likely other topics will be dropped or ignored.
Another element to netiquette is, setting up an automated reply when away for a few days and telling them when to expect to be reading your email again is polite.
