Email the new snail mail?
Well who would have thought that email could ever be called the new snail mail? What a hurried world we live in huh! Well this is the latest buzz from an article I read in the Globe and Mail. It mostly applies to youth and their increasing use of IM (instant messenger), text messaging, blogs etc. But I gotta be honest, even here at card, we often flip quick questions to each other via IM. It just works well for that kind of quick chatter stuff.
But fear not, no one is predicting the death of email. Besides its usefulness in formal correspondence, it also offers the ability to send something from “one to many,” says Anne Kirah, a senior design anthropologist at Microsoft who studies people’s high-tech habits. That might include an announcement for a club or invitation to a party. Yours truly fully agrees with Anne. There will always be a place for email marketing - it has become such a popular way for people to communicate. Just try to imagine a world without email. It’s unthinkable!
