Five reasons why email will never die
ZDNET, Thursday, May 2nd, 2024
Email is still the de facto standard for communication for hundreds of millions of people. But that's not the only reason the technology will never go away.
My choice of communication technology looks like this:
- Phone calls for family and closest friends
- Emails for business and secondary members of my circle
- Chat for everyone else
That approach might make me seem like a dinosaur but I like the personal connection of a phone call. And when a call isn't an option, email is a close second. With email, I can communicate on my terms and know the sender won't have any problem reading my correspondence. Emails have few limitations, have been around since the earliest days of computers, and will remain in play until long after I've sloughed off this mortal coil.
