E-mail is life A survey of 10,000 e-mail users shows that 73.8 percent of people now say e-mail is essential to their lives. So essential, in fact, that 40 to 50 percent of people rate access to e-mail as more important than chocolate, coffee, or television. 59.8 percent of those surveyed say they spend more time with e-mail than they do on the phone. For some, e-mail is so integral to their lives that 14.9 percent would "rather live without their spouse or significant other than go without e-mail, and 6 percent said they would rather lose their home."
