LINE

Hello!  This is Shinnosuke.  I've almost run out of my topics, so I'll write about LINE.
 
I sometimes wonder whether LINE will replace e-mail someday.  As everyone knows, LINE is an application where we can exchange short messages for free.  Today, so many people use this application, and lately they have had less chance to use e-mail.  They use LINE more often than e-mail because they think LINE is more convenient than e-mail.  Now, I'll write donw some of its advantages.  First, we can exchange messages faster.  In LINE, users share the same screen, and each message is very short.  If two users see the same screen at the same time, the exchange becomes faster, almost in real time.  Next, LINE is very attractive for people, especially young people.  LINE provides users with very unique and cute stamps and makes them feel as if they were chatting with each other face-to-face.  However, it is not true that we don't use e-mail at all.  We often use e-mail when making contact with teachers and other people in polite situations.  LINE lacks politeness.  In my conclusion, LINE will not take the place of e-mail, though the use of e-mail has been decreasing.
