I've been mumbling for some time about the decline of email use among students, and what effect it has on communicating with them, or what the implications will be for the business world. Will this mean that students will have to confront email and abandoned their text messaging when they get a job? Or that email is down for the count, and businesses will have to adapt.
Slate thinks it's the latter. Me, I'm not so sure. And anyway, with gmail, email, instant messaging and text on your phone are all bundled. Social networks will be next. So I think it's probably less the death of any one format and the collection of many formats in one place, for different forms (and formalities) of communication.
