It’s been a meme that “email is for old people” since 2006.

Even my 80 year old mom texts me.

How people reach me depending on the level of relationship is Text > Facebook Messenger > LinkedIn > Email.

Even at work almost all announcements and messages go through Slack.

I work in consulting and when we start a client project, we either connect them to a dedicated “external-“ Slack temporary channel in our org or our client creates a user for us usually within their Microsoft Teams/Office365 implementation.

No one wants to use Email.
