Stop Spam! When I first got an
e-mail account ten years ago, I received communications only from family,
friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have
an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not
interest me at all. If we want e-mails to continue to be useful, we need
specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime. If law makers
do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much
worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails
almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spare to sell their
products, individual(个人的) e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails.
Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount
of spare each time This problem is troubling for individuals
and companies as well. Many spare e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut
down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mails for their
employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in
their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to
communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and
requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems
raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the
consumer. For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to
legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to
prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people
all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this
convenience. What is the purpose of the text
