E-Mails are great but sometimes it’s very much not personal at all. Do it on paper and this way your message might not end up in the Spam folder !

Ready for a strange fact we discovered recently? E-mail has been around since before computers. At first, e-mails were written on rocks and thrown at neighbors. CC-ing a rock e-mail could be dangerous for an entire village. Then, e-mails were written on paper and put in weird paper things called envelopes and the postal system delivered them. This was slow. Finally, e-mail as we know it came around. Well, for fun, let’s take a technological step backwards.

Paper E-mail is perhaps the funniest way to pass messages in your office. Why? Because it will confuse the person you send it to. ’Why didn’t they just e-mail this to me?’ they’ll wonder, ’is their computer down?’ Great for sending IT e-mails on – especially if you mention they are a test of the new e-mail servers. Paper E-mails are a great, funny mix of new ideas and old school technology. So take a step back in time and find out how folks e-mailed other folks in the dark ages (that is, a long while ago).
