Practically speaking, it would be nigh impossible to effectively communicate with people around the world, distribute documents, and reach multiple contacts efficiently without it.
Yeah, this is what I was thinking. Documents are often created by, reviewed and approved by lots of peeps. Tech-savy companies can probably share them in better ways though - email really isn't the most efficeint, or secure, way to send docs; There's the commentary, but you could text or message chat or video conference..or, you know talk in real life. Which is what they're getting at I suppose.
The accountability aspect, everyone having a running record in print of what everyone said, may not always be considered a good thing.
FOIA dictacts that we keep all work related emails, like, forever. Obsviously we're supposed to be cautious about what we discuss.
