Describe the “network externalities” for paper mail and E-mail?

Paper mails is said to be a process of sending information from one individual or household to another, which can be inform of letter writing, While E-mail is the process of sending information between computers which is done electronically.
According to John .E.Lopalka and William.H.”the value of goods to the purchaser or consumer, depends on the purchaser expectation about the future size of the network. In addition to that, I can say that those who use paper mail an e-mail generates a network and thee networks exist in as much as there is increase in the value of the products
E-mail being a recent technology and also which is faster than paper mails tends to be more advantageous and may bring the entire network users to adopt the technology. I can say that since paper mail does not reach people on time as when compared with e-mail, it is now said that paper mails gave rise to e-mails as its new technology which now makes information easier and convenient for people.
Paper mail is not expensive when compared with e-mails E-mail has a disadvantage which hen compared with paper mail make people to rely on paper mail and the disadvantage is when there is power failure, this seems to seize communication.

Are paper mail and E-mail always interactive

To my best of knowledge, I can say that a paper mail could be interactive because it involves conveying information from person to person which I can say, brings good relationship which exist among each other, while E-mail is non-interactive because it is permanently private and tends to restrict people

How does mail and e-mail work in your home country? How many are reachable What about speed and safety?

Paper mail and E-mail which are sources of information work well in my country but are only interrupted by people who are in charge of providing the required and adequate services to the public. I can also say that paper mails are more reachable because it is cheap can be easily affordable to the masses. But E-mail I very expensive in my country due to the high rate at which people subscribe with as a result of incomplete circulation of network an non-existence of network in some cities. In my country,paper mail is most commonly used than e-mail because of safety but the speed rate is always slow. For example, it take about 6-8 working days for a registered mail within my country to be delivered. In situations like this,we prefer E-mails,since it can be deleivered at a faster rate. In addition to that,I can say that e-mail in my country will be more reliable if there are no network failures and good management.

What is required of the customer/user when using postal service and e-mails service?

The customer or user is required to pay for the services rendered to him or her. The person needs to pay for postage materials (envelope and stamps)
The customer has to make choice on what services that will be better for him or her rather than being tied or complaining.

Is E-mail a substitution for paper mail

E-mail would have been a substitution to paper mail because it makes information easier, faster and more convenient to people and in the world of business it has also connected the world in a globe and this I support Manual castell’s views “the new techno-economic system seem to induce uneven development simultaneously increasing wealth and poverty productively and social exclusion, with its effect being differently distributed in various areas of the world and I various social group”.

What will happen to paper mail if fewer people use it or if fewer letters are sent?

I believe that if few people use the paper mail. it will take it to be more efficient an effective in the area of service because, they will have a fewer number of people to attend to unlike when a large number of people are using it.

What happens to E-mail use if people getting E-mail do not answer?

In my own understanding, if people do not respond to their mails, the technology will be as good as not existing but according to Rogger Silverstone,Eric Hirch and David Morley(1992)in their own views “They are technologies and like every other technology, they ill continue to have impact on social an economic order of the household with the world beyond their front door an they do this or fail to do this in complex and often contradictory ways”
