I once took a picture, and offered to email it to my younger co-worker. (I'm old.) He paused, and said "Email? I don't remember the last time I used email. Why don't you text it to me?"

There are people who just don't use email, and not because they're not tech savvy.

Given that it’s required to sign up for online billing and most online services, I think your younger coworker either doesn’t understand how to set it up on his/her phone or was just straight up lying because the email address was embarrassing or some other reason to hide it.

So you set it up, sign up for whatever, and never use it again except to sign up for something.

I rarely check my personal email because of the volume of spam and other noise I receive, so if a friend tried to contact me that way I probably wouldn't get it. I don't set up email notifications on my phone for that reason.

Yep. I'm 36 and just hung out with a 26 year old.

When I said email is the best way to contact me he said "Wow, going old school".

When I asked him, he said "Whats App" all the way, never uses anything else!
