According to a report in the news, email could be dead in ten years. The report found that many surfers in their late teens or early twenties barely use email any more, as using IM (instant messaging) or Twitter lets them reach more people more effectively.
Mark Schmid from TalkTalk said: “Email has been the dominant mode of communication over the internet for the past 20 years, but that doesn’t mean it always will be.
“Increasingly people want to send quick, short messages reaching many people in one go, and there are now better ways of doing that than via email,” Schmid continued.
I’m not sure how practical IM is within a business but something will be thought up no doubt as that’s the nature of the industry.
