- 23076: The Arrival of Email
- ... Memos that at the past had to either be typed or handwritten and then routed through a slow and complex distribution system, now can be dashed off on a computer and zapped to their recipient(s) at high speed. However, easy and quick as it is, messages written in haste and distributed without thinking through the ramifications of the message "can come back to haunt you-in court." Just ask Bill Gates. ("When the Devil is in the E-Mails," BusinessWeek, June 8, 1998, pp. 72-74) In the past it was handwritten memos, file documents, letters and tape recorded conversations-for example President Nixon's Watergate related tapes-that have sometimes been used by external parties to take companies to task in court. With the digital communication methods of the Information Age, organizational managers are finding that E-mail archives and files are telling sources of information about an organization's policies and actions.
