According to Jacque Leslie, "the growth of e-mail is undeniable" (Wired 2.03).
Some facts about the increasing amount of electronic mail communication:
According to the Electronic Messaging Association, there are between 30 and 50 million people who use e-mail.
North American e-mail users have increased from 1 million in 1984 to 16 million in 1993, sending in total over 5 billion messages.
Business e-mail users send at least an "equivalent of 10,000 manuscripts of War and Peace every day of the year."
In the next ten years, the above number is expected to quintuple.
The above information appears in Jacques Leslie's article "Mail Bonding" in the February 1994 issue of Wired Magazine.
