Email nailed the final nail to the coffin of good old letter writing practice. I miss those days of writing long letters to my friends and family, and waiting for their replies. How great was the excitement when a letter arrived!!
But email changed everything and people hardly write except on the occasional Birthday or New Year cards. Email definitely made it easier and faster to communicate and get replies fast.
Today, things seemed to have changed for Email too. In fact, Email is already a dead method of communication for Gen Y whose are always on instant messaging or on Facebook & Twitter for instant gratification. Many youngster that I spoke to says ‘Email is boring’, ‘it’s like writing a letter’, ‘useless way to spend time’ and they all seems to mention that the major headache are the spams that seemed to become a part of all the emails. In a way, they are correct— more than relevant mails, you get spams!!
It is too early to say whether email is really dead. But yeah, changes are possible within the next couple of years. The generation which prefers instant messaging to emails might make it obsolete.
