The concept of the email fits perfectly with the Diffusion Theory graph. In the late 1900s, the email became a popular way of communication due to its ease. From a personal computer, net cafe, or library, people can send information to each other without worrying about fees or issues. Email started to gain traction once people saw how useful it can be, and from any computer. The ease was enticing. As time went on, the capabilities of sending an email grew, so it drew more people in. Being able to send information to anyone anywhere was a huge breakthrough. I think that email usage started to slowly go down was when SPAM became more common and other communication devices were popularized. Email is primarily used for business and professional settings, and casual chatting is done through texting and social media. Emailing is still used around the world, but I do not believe many new people are coming to use it, most people already have it or are using another form of communication.
