Forwarded Messages
Have you ever think about the price of your e-mails?
I'm gonna show you one example of its price
Situation: You have 100 people in your contact list, all of them love to forward stuff. One day you got a good e-mail (with pornos, pictures.. whatever) and you decided to forward this e-mail to every people in your contact list. Let's assume the size of the message is 100 kilobytes (actually it's definitely bigger than this, but I'm not good at doing math)
You (100 kb) => 100 people (100 x 100 kb = 10,000 kbytes or 10 megabytes)
see? 10 megabytes in one single 'send' click
Now when your friends got your messages, they decided again to forward your mail to other 100 people in their contact list
Your friend (100 kb) => 100 people (10 megabytes)
what do we have now? you and your friend? 20 megabytes
imagine your rest of 99 friends... how many space a single e-mail can occupy??
How about the price of storage?
Yea you might say it's cheap nowadays... It's cheap.. true...
But think of other cost.. Internet connections, Bandwidth, computer server...
