Email could become unnecessary for ecommerce users We all thought the typewriter was passé when the keyboard came along. This may be true, but the keyboard is but an extension of the typewriter. And then, with the advent of the email, snail mail lost its way, although it is not history yet. Now, ecommerce could send email into oblivion! At least for users, that is.

We all thought the typewriter was passé when the keyboard came along. This may be true, but the keyboard is but an extension of the typewriter. And then, with the advent of the email, snail mail lost its way, although it is not history yet. Now, ecommerce could send email into oblivion! At least for users, that is.
Developments make use of emails redundant
Today, ecommerce is all about usability. An ecommerce offers products in a way that enriches user experience. It offers aesthetics in its design elements. It also offers the viewer lots of options. A potential customer could view dozens of brands of the product she wants to purchase. These dozen brands are presented in several illustrative ways. All that the visitor needs to do is select the brand with all its exact specifications. Once this is done, the order is placed, and the payment is made. So, where is the need for emails in all this? The mouse does all the work needed for the ecommerce website user. When developments like this happen, one is inclined to think if emails are going to go the way all its predecessors did. When the ecommerce user has no need for a faculty, who would invent the need for it? Isn't the aim of technology to reduce work and make life easier?
Wait, not yet!
However, it is a little premature to say if the ecommerce business is going to phase emails out. In a sense, it never can, because as we have seen, even if it becomes totally obsolete, it will be only for users. The business itself can never do without emails. Without them, how is it going to communicate with its customers, its bread earners? The possibility of ecommerce taking emails out of the way does not seem likely to happen. At best, it could spell desuetude for emails, but only from users. This transformation will be somewhat similar to what is happening to papers today with the advent of emails. Despite widespread computerisation, paper has still not disappeared from the scene. This is expected to be the situation with emails.
