    Anyone else feel email slowly dying in their personal lives? Most real comms have moved to various direct messaging features of other products.

        Make jokes if you like but most of the economy still runs on it. I give it 10 more years before it becomes actually obsolete.

        There has been a reprioritization of actual phone calls over personal emails lately for me. Am I the only one?

        Certainly don’t get as much email as I did ten years ago. But it’s where I have more thoughtful, long-form, 1:1 conversations. It’s where I receive newsletters I look forward to. It’s where I get sent receipts/bills (and I wouldn’t want to receive them elsewhere).

        Grew up on AIM/ICQ and got Facebook in 2004 (had an HTC phone with full keyboard). Email always used in personal cases for event/travel coordination, haven’t seen any drop off since 04, although events that would have made it to an FB event page aren’t anymore.

        Email is still THE dominant communication mode in academia. Skype is #2.

        in my experience, the noise and timely things have moved to slack and DMs, email mostly things that are, or might become business.

        Email as a thing I get notifications on, still a thing. Email as talking to a person? Dead. I occasionally use it to communicate in relation to school. To trade phone numbers or send an attachment.

        It’s being relegated to something like postal mail. A specialized service for communications or packages requiring special handling or considered review
