On: The death of e-mail - "Email is increasingly for old people, as kids turn to IM etc."

[tx]

Jesus... yet another email bashing BS. Email has always been for "old people" because it's (mostly) a working tool. Kids don't like to do work, they like to play.

It's like saying that "doing dishes is dead. leaving them dirty all over the place is the future".

that's a terrible analogy, basically saying that texting/IM are counter-productive, which is often, but not necessarily true.

It is more like: email is a cockroach. Sure it is ugly, but it will still be around long after the rise and fall of prettier creatures like Twitter or Facebook.
