In The US, Email Is Only For Old People

lxw56 writes "Two years after Slashdot discussed the theory that Korean young people were rejecting email, an article at the Slate site written by Chad Lorenz comes to the same conclusion about the United States. 'Those of us older than 25 can't imagine a life without e-mail. For the Facebook generation, it's hard to imagine a life of only e-mail, much less a life before it. I can still remember the proud moment in 1996 when I sent my first e-mail from the college computer lab. It felt like sending a postcard from the future. I was getting a glimpse of how the Internet would change everything--nothing could be faster and easier than e-mail.'"

In the US email is only for SPAM

[Tiger Smile]

That's about it. People who use email are foolish. It's been taken over greatly by spam. Of all the great ways to remove SPAM I've seen posted anywhere in the world, not using email is the smartest. Anything else keeps the spammers happy to keep trying.
