Computerworld.com reported that "We were using email in the
1970s, and we'll still be using it in the 2070s."
The March 17, 2021 article entitled "Email is for yesterday, today, and
tomorrow" included these comments:
People are still telling me that
email is obsolete, that it can be replaced by Slack, Teams, or Google Chat. Some folks swear they
can do more over instant messaging. Or, even better, some
proclaim (with an odd glare in their eyes from their webcam ring
light), Zoom, Google Hangouts Meet,
or BlueJean Meetings are the
future.
Email's enemies claim
it's a waste of time and energy, that it sucks the life out of
their day with countless messages morning, noon, and night. That
it's always interrupting them.
