Death of email?
Source: Chartreuse
Chartreuse blogs that email is as good as dead. He points to a recent Mercury News piece where kids compare email to snail mail, and in inimitable Chartreuse style bluntly says "Just think about how many businesses they just killed. And all the ones they just created." He notes that Korean email use is already in decline and in the US email among teens and young adults is down 8 percent. While the teen in my house IMs and has never wanted an email address, I think the comments following Chartreuse's post are telling. When the content of your message is more in-depth than an IM (like at work), email is a given. It's just that when you're a teen, you're all, like, totally brief and instant.
