Now that I am an adult, I realize that it is a super convenient way to get into contact with people in a professional format that also can be used more casually. They do say that all old trends come back around, or maybe I can finally appreciate emails because I am older than I was when I first thought of it as dinosaur tool (eek!). Talk about an iGeneration kid! I never understood how truly amazing it is and the history behind the creation and evolution of such a form of communication. The way that the whole system started was based on the thought that maybe computers should be able to do more than just process info. True to their name, and similar to the postal service we have today, email would be sent out a certain number of times a day \u201cinto the world.\u201d To be able to instantly send out information to people that weren\u2019t physically around within hours was unheard of.

These fancy new editions will have your wallet significantly lighter with the iPhone X ringing up right around $1,000.
