I wake up around nine, drink a cup of coffee, answer some emails, and ease myself into the day.
I don’t distract myself from work stuff with funny emails and surfing the internet when I’m at work; I don’t distract myself from my family when I’m with them.
We are deluged with information. We have to process now three times as much data as we would have done 50 years ago. We’re bombarded with tweets, with emails – a state of continuous disruption – and that’s bad for our decision making and bad for our thinking.
A quick search through the U.S. Copyright Office’s website will show that email was first used in 1979 and has been registered under ‘Shiva Ayyadurai.’
I’m not a stone-thrower when it comes to Hillary Clinton and her emails and her server. I don’t think there has been criminal intent on Hillary Clinton’s part. I don’t see an indictment.
We use tools such as email, not just as a way to keep in daily touch with family members who live in other cities, but also as a way to keep in touch with staff and members of the public.
I was extremely curious growing up. I taught myself how to sew, French braid, and cook. When I wasn’t creating things with my hands, I was learning more about tech. I was experimenting with email at nine, had my first cell phone at 13, and was truly obsessed with the Internet as a teenager.
A love letter is to be savored; a love email… is to be forwarded to all your friends, and probably laughed at.
I got an email from the Crown Prince of Norway asking me to talk at a summit for young Norwegian entrepreneurs. I ran to my wife and was like, ‘Hey! I got an email from the Prince of Norway!’
I always map out how to get a good eight or nine hours of sleep before I even start my day. And my rule is to put my phone on silent when I go to bed; that way, no texts or emails can disturb me.
I got into television in 1998 when I didn’t have a computer or even an email address.
I typed up a long email with different band name ideas and sent it to Stephanie, and they all started with ‘the’.
I think it’s nice sometimes not to be plugged in 24/7 to email and the Internet and everything else. It’s nice to get away.
It’s so cool, the number of emails I get from people saying I changed their life. It’s pretty crazy.
Goals do not get stored in your voice message or email bin. They are not going to reach out from the world wide web and remind you they exist. As a result, our goals do not get the respect they deserve.
I’ve written everywhere – in hotel rooms, cafes, airports, and planes all around the world. Now I have a home office, and the wi-fi is really bad down there, which is great. If I make a date with myself to write from, say, 6 A.M. to 10 A.M. on a Saturday, the fact that no emails come in helps me focus.
The very purpose of Clinton’s server was to intentionally retain documents and materials – all emails and attachments – on the server in her house, including classified materials.
When I write an email where I outlined a whole scene, it just came out of my unconscious, it comes from a deeper place. The same thing happens when the actors go, take after take, and just get lost in it. When you’re in a house, you don’t think about being in the house; you’re just there.
I save everything up until Sunday night because if I start sending emails on Saturday afternoon, then people have to start responding to me on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.
The best remote companies I’ve seen do almost everything online, via email and telephone. But they also get together face to face on a regular basis.
When I was 8 or 9, I started using bulletin board systems, which was the precursor to the Internet, where you’d dial into… a shared system and shared computers. I’ve had an email address since the late ’80s, when I was 8 or 9 years old, and then I got on the Internet in ’93 when it was first starting out.
When it comes to the teapot tempest that is the Hillary Clinton email imbroglio, the real controversy isn’t about politics or regulations. It’s about journalism and the weak standards employed to manufacture the scandal du jour.
I don’t do Twitter, Facebook; none of that. My email I do from my Blackberry or my iPhone.
Between finishing emails, loading the fridge, unloading the dishwasher, getting our son to eat his chicken nuggets and my dog to swallow her pill, it takes approximately 32 days for my husband and I to complete a discussion and 46 to wrap up a fight.
Hillary Clinton may have lied about her emails, but Donald Trump lies about everything.
In the past, before phones and the Internet, all communication was face-to-face. Now, most of it is digital, via emails and messaging services. If people were to start using virtual reality, it would almost come full circle.
The reason people need advice on using social media is that they’re a much more complex and nuanced way to communicate than a conversation or email.
Deleting 200 spams a day is a drag. And I was checking my email constantly, rather than getting on with my real work, which is reading and writing. Email was becoming a distraction, a burden rather than a liberation.
You want to be somewhat cautious inasmuch as you can’t use the state email for political or campaign business.
Wherever I am, I start my day, it’s the same. I’m not an early bird. I’m not waking up at five o’clock, six o’clock; it’s usually seven-thirty, eight o’clock, and I will then read the newspapers, emails from around the world and make phone calls.
Email, instant messaging, and cell phones give us fabulous communication ability, but because we live and work in our own little worlds, that communication is totally disorganized.
Midnight is the time when we think, ‘Well, we should probably send our last email; let me just check Facebook one more time.’
Neil Gaiman swooped into my life though another friend, Jason Webley, who knew we were fans of each other’s work and introduced us via email. Neil and I, like me and Ben, just hit it off instantly.
We can improve the utility of email by maneouvring its use in a constructive manner.
I think there’s a worry that an excessive use or an almost exclusive use of text and emails means that as a society we’re losing some of the ability to build interpersonal communication that’s necessary for living together and building a community.
The idea that you don’t spam people with five emails a day or that you offer free shipping just seemed obvious to us, because that’s how we want to be treated as consumers.
I’d been on the Internet since the 1970s when it was just for nerds. I started saying, ‘Who would benefit from this?’ I started imagining a world where young people could have their own email address, back in the days of family AOL accounts.
I think anybody who uses email in the center of our life needs encryption.
I don’t have and have never had an email address. I’m old school. But as far as downloads go, my only objection is I like the sound of CDs better, so I buy those. I think the sound quality is better.
I spend a fair amount of time dealing with email, mostly deleting them or skimming them to get a sense of what is going on.
Clearly texting, SMS and chat are very different than writing a letter or email.
What is the role of a public intellectual in the age of Twitter and soundbites? Is it to share your thoughts for the public good, or is it to curate the heaps of hate emails, tweets, and right-wing articles that trash your intellectual and social work?
Like most people, I’m on my phone a lot during the day, there are always work emails coming in or emails persuading me to buy more shoes. Honestly, I’m probably on my phone a bit too much. I’m addicted to Twitter and Instagram.
I avoid Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, and if I need to communicate with someone, I email direct.
I’d much rather send my friends letters rather than emails.
People say we live in an age of information overload. Right? I don’t know about that, but I just know that I get too many marketing emails.
I’m addicted to email, but other than that, there are practical things – being able to buy a book on the internet that you can’t find in your local bookshop. This could be a lifeline if you live further from the sources.
Email cannot die in the near future because of its universal acceptance.
Turn off your email; turn off your phone; disconnect from the Internet; figure out a way to set limits so you can concentrate when you need to, and disengage when you need to. Technology is a good servant but a bad master.
It borders on inconceivable that Clinton didn’t know that the emails she received – and, more obviously, the emails that she created, stored and sent with the server – would contain classified information.
Private emails between friends and colleagues written in haste and without much thought or sensitivity, even when the content of them is meant to be in jest, can result in offense where none was intended.
My kids’ doctor will quickly answer any email, even if it’s 11:00 at night. That’s important to me.
I probably use email the most. I dunno if that counts as an app. I try to stay off my electronics as much as possible. Real life is happening all around you; you’re better off just being a part of it.
I get, like, 50 emails a day from kids being like, ‘I want to go on this trip around the world. How do I get a sponsor?’
