So many times, people receive these blanket e-mails from individuals talking about ‘warnings’ or ‘cautions’ about things that may or may not be true. As a result, if the e-mail is INFLAMMATORY enough, people will forward these e-mail to as many people as they know.
The problem with the technological age is that too many times, we don’t stop and take a moment to confirm the validity of the information that is provided to us in these e-mails. In an instant, an e-mail can be spread to thousands of individuals without any one taking a moment to confirm the validity of this information.
Here’s some food for thought, the next time you get an e-mail that gets you FIRED up, check the validity of the information. Do a little research and determine if the contents of the e-mail are true before you start e-mailing the information to EVERYONE on your contact list. We all have busy days and the last thing we need to have to worry about is some crazy e-mail that comes through our inbox.
