14. Why is there some speculation that use of e-mails might be more suitable for people from low-context cultures?

• E-mail provides the biographical information required by low-context cultures.
• Individuals from low-context cultures rely on social cues, and e-mail technology provides social contexts.
• E-mail communication emphasizes the use of a shared experience, whereby threads of communication can be used.
• E-mail technology focuses on communication styles that are linear and focuses on words to convey meaning, which is characteristic of low-context communication patterns.
