of course "usage, volume and demographics" fall under "social and psychological impact".
Our understanding of the social and psychological impact of email is dependant on our knowledge of who uses email (demographics) and how often they use it (usage and volume).
And this gets 4,interesting?
seems to me that anything slating Katz gets modded up.
My PERSONAL fantasy is that, eventually, we will get to a point where you will simply have to THINK a command, and your mind-reading-hat (or goggles, you get the idea) interprets the neurological impulses, and gives your computer the appropriate commands. It's already here! Open up an xterm and enter the command "mr" (fmind read) and then think of what you want the computer to do. something like "mail John".. mr will then attempt to read your mind, and execute the appropriate commands. Unfortunately the human mind has not developed to a stage that it is capable of broadcasting thought, so mr usually replies: $ mr mr: command not found oh well
