Email allows people to communicate electronically on the computer. Its inexpensive, convienient and also saves time. If, for example you need to contact someone whos not in your proximity and you need to arrange a meeting with someone just to talk, then you may be paying money for travel, and allow time to do so.
Theres been many times within university that i've needed to get in contact with a tutor and so i've used email, by simply contacting them, again saving alot of time and getting the information i needed in the comfort of my own home.
Another benefit of email is that it allows asynchrony. Email isnt in real time and so can be left for days or even weeks without being dealt with. Sometimes with phonecalls you may need to contact someone but cant because their phone is off or unavailable, but with email, you can send whoever you need and know that the email can be accessed at another time.
