EMAIL'S DARKSIDE

I just finished reading this article (link and top 10 dark sides listed below, click link to read whole article).  I, myself, have seen email be a relationship killer in my family.  A good portion of the reasons listed below are why the relationships are damaged or dead now.  And now Facebook multiplies some of these darksides even more so.   So is this technology good for us, does it make our lives better?   Hmmmmm????
