E-mail or snail mail?

Modern technology has brought about enormous improvements in communications and yet many people are still very worried __(1)__ using the latest computer technology. I am often __(2)__ to meet colleagues who still don’t know what the ‘e’ in e-mail stands for and they are too __(3)__ to ask.

They assume you have to be skilled __(4)__ computers to send a message via e-mail but in fact it is __(5)__ thing in the world. It is also __(6)__ to send an e-mail message __(7)__ to send an ordinary letter or a ‘snail’ message which also takes __(8)__ longer. An e-mail message is only __(9)__ more expensive than a local telephone call to send; on top of the call itself you also have to pay a fee to your ‘server’. If you send a letter by __(10)__ mail it will take a couple of days to get there whereas an e-mail will not take __(11)__ than a few seconds. Once you become __(12)__ to using the system you will be __(13)__ at how much more __(14)__ it is than other means of communication. Of course, before you have access to e-mail, you will need a fairly __(15)__ computer, which can be quite expensive.
