Imagine an ordinary day at work. You probably start in the morning with a cup of coffee, greet your colleagues and then the inevitable happens, you log in on your computer. For many of us the latter simple action has become automatic behavior and we don’t even realize that this act is dominating the rest of the office day. E-mails constantly ask for attention and intrude our working schedule. The Linked In (a business-oriented social networking site) profile needs an update, one has to respond to messages on the discussion board, scan the company network for news messages, etc. Only few have the discipline to structure the day in such a way that they plan fixed times to deal with e-mail. Remarkably, the answering of e-mail is rarely part of our job description, but more an underlying assumption of the functioning in nowadays’ organizational life.
         It is evident that computer-mediated communication (CMC) has become very common in work life. E-mail is still the most prevalent form of CMC within organizations. And, in fact, the increasing use of mobile devices in business has given the experience of e-mail a new dimension. Therefore, in the present paper we focus predominantly on the impact of e-mail, provided by personal computers as well as smart mobile devices, on organizational life. There is a still increasing number of studies on the social psychological aspects of computer-mediated communication, but to date the impact of mobile e-mail on organizational life has been neglected. Obviously, as with every new innovative technology there are advantages and disadvantages in using it. The original idea of e-mail was that it facilitates our communication and makes lives at work easier. Unfortunately, there are, besides advantages also side effects. This theoretical paper aims to overview the impact of (mobile) e-mail on organizational life. The impact of e-mail on a regular workday is inherent on differences between e-mail and face-to-face (F2F) communication. McKenna and Bargh (2000) listed these differences in four categories. First, physical distance is no issue on the Internet, in a fraction of a second one can interact with someone at the other end of the globe, where regular mail takes days or even weeks. The second aspect, time, is two-folded. It can be an influential cue in interpreting a message. When a colleague sends you an e-mail at 2 am you put it in another perspective than when you receive the same message at 10 am. The Internet is a speedy medium that allows us to reach a large group of people in one delivery. Third, unlike in F2F meetings, physical appearance and visual cues are absent in e-mail (McKenna & Bargh, 2000). Finally, it is easier to be anonymous while communicating on the internet. It is common to use nicknames in chat devices and pseudonyms are used in the construction of e-mail accounts.

The examples as well as explanation are quite clearly. Although Im ambiguous a little bit when reading the last graph but after read it again, I completely catch the whole story.

What's an interesting post:) As Soc Chuot mentioned above, your explanation is relatively clear; however, I suggest you should notice your essay's layout, which confuses me sometimes while reading!
