The Time Has Come to Ditch Email?

Krishna Dagli writes to mention an article at The Register claiming that it's time we stop using email to communicate. From the article: "The problem is, email is now integral to the lives of perhaps a billion people, businesses, and critical applications around the world. It's a victim of its own success. It's a giant ship on a dangerous collision course. All sorts of brilliant, talented people today put far more work into fixing SMTP in various ways (with anti-virus, anti-phishing technologies, anti-spam, anti-spoofing cumbersome encryption technologies, and much more) than could have ever been foreseen in 1981. But it's all for naught."

It's all for naught?

WTF? Is this another SMS is better proclamation? Email works fine. I want a record of my conversations, thats why I use email. I also want to use a full sized keyboard and decent spelling and grammar, which is why I don't type on my phone.

In conclusion, bite me, it's friday.
