Yes thank you ensign for writing that report up on your tablet computer, now because email apparently doesn't exist anymore you'll have to physically leave the tablet with me and go get a new one.

The monkey paw curls: Email has been lost to the sands of time, but somehow fax is still in regular use
I know that this is a lighthearted place, but why do you think so? E-Mail is one of the most democratic and equity promoting forms of communication there is through its decentralisation and open standardisation.
