The future of email
I’ve seen a couple of articles over the last week, questioning the future of email. But for all its faults it just works so darn well. It doesn’t matter what email client you use, or what email server software your service provider uses, if I send an email mail I am pretty confident that it will reach the intended recipient. It works on all types of computers and mobile devices. Even instant messaging, which has been around for a while, can’t claim this interoperability. So email isn’t going anywhere quickly!
Email has been the blockbuster and the Internet killer
app for the past few decades, but it doesn’t have a monopoly. New more
contextual ways to communicate are emerging and slicing pieces of the
email pie, particularly in the consumer market.
