As young people become increasingly tech-savvy, they are leaving e-mail to their elders.
With IMs, texts, Myspace, and Facebook young people communicate with everything but e-mail.
A university administrator told me he put a hold on somebody's account in September, but they responded yesterday. The student hadn't checked her email in months. From the administrator's perspective, the best way to contact people about urgent matters is via the telephone.
How do you prefer to communicate?

We will definitely move to a world of handheld IM's. I only say this, because Texting is so popular due to so much demand to NOT talk on the phone. It takes little effort, and you can add dumb little smileys to impose emotion.
Whatever...

Computers will come and go and mobiles will meet the wrath of evolution but what's always going to be around? That's right... fire.
Smoke signals. They're the only way.
