Email bankruptcy
E-mail bankruptcy (or e-mail bankruptcy ) is the term that describes the situation when the large amount of unread or unprocessed e-mails no longer seem manageable. The term was created in 2002 by MIT professor Sherry Turkle and made popular in 2004 by US law professor Lawrence Lessig .
Since more and more people can no longer cope with the daily volume of e-mails, they delete their inbox completely and send an e-mail to all known contacts with the request to retransmit all important messages. The only way out of the communication dilemma seems to be to start over from scratch.
