E-mail is probably the most widely used internet service. It allows people to "instantaneously" send and receive written communication. Groups of people can talk at each person's convenience. The recipient doesn't need to be home and, since it is written, there is a lower chance of misunderstanding.

We will use it extensively in our class to facilitate learning and interaction among students.
