David Shipley on getting better with (rather than dumping) email

Opting Out: New Jersey Governor Rejects E-mail

David Shipley, author of Send: The Essential Guide to Email for Office and Home, did an ATC commentary on NJ Gov. Jon Corzine’s saying he’s swearing off email. Shipley thinks it’s a teachable moment that shouldn’t be missed:

How about: writing better.

How about: a little more thought about what we are saying on email before hitting that send key?

How about trying all this…instead of giving up…?

Instead of quitting, why doesn’t Governor Corzine turn this into a moment to teach us how to email better. Should New Jersey schools teach email the way they once taught typing and composition?

By the way, how we doing on that Richard Scarry Book of the Future?
