Einstein, Darwin and E-mail.

10/27/2005 9:06 AM

It seems the great scientists of our time valued the importance of communication when the exchange of scientific knowledge was imperitive. A study suggests that Einstein and Darwin's habits of organizing their letters and correspondence, "followed patterns similar to modern e-mail communication."
The article concludes, "Einstein and Darwin exhibited a 'fundamental pattern of human dynamics' that plays out every morning when you check your inbox."
Do you agree with the results of this article?

Perceptions

Based on this article, it would seem that email is really just an extension of old fashioned letter writing. Sometimes, however, technology creates a "need" to communicate where there was none before. Once upon a time, you may have wanted a cell phone but lived quite well without one. Now, if you lose your cell phone, you realize that need to find it - and fast.
