Electronic Mail

During the past few years， scientists all over the world have suddenly found themselves productively engaged in task they once spent their lives avoiding——writing， any kind of writing， but particularly letter writing.

Anyone with a personal computer， a modern and the software to link computers over telephone lines can sign on. An estimated five million scientists have done so with more joining every day， most of them communicating through a bundle of interconnected domestic and foreign routes known collectively as the Internet， or net.

E-mail is starting to edge out the fax， the telephone， overnight mail， and of course， land mail.

If it is not yet speeding discoveries， it is certainly accelerating communication.

Jeremy Bernstein， the physicist and science writer， once called E-mail the physicist"s umbilical cord （脐带）. Later other people， too， have been discovering its connective virtues. Physicists are using it; college students are using it; everybody is using it; and as a sign that it has come of age， the New Yorker has celebrated its liberating presence with a cartoon——an appreciative dog seated at a keyboard， saying happily， "On the Internet， nobody knows you"re a dog. "
