Email dubbed snail mail

AdelaideNow... Email dubbed snail mail in text-driven world:

"For many young people, it is about choosing the best communication tool for the situation."

Texting and instant messaging can be much more useful but the problem is we are not all set up for it. Email is about getting out information for people to consider. There has been a shift and people are also sick and tired of the spam mail. So mobiles and instant messaging can be very helpful. It would be good if we all had instant messaging. It works if you can collect it but be turned off when you want to ignore it and instant messaging actually interrupts concentration and absorption. It has its uses. When people start creating errors and danger because they aren't focussed is one thing as are people who are stressing because they have too much communication obligation. We have a young one at work who never answers her voicemail nor listens to the messages. We shift it to get to ours. So she has secretaries and we have to listen to all these frustrated people trying to contact her.Puts stress and work on us. I guess it's a good way to get someone else to do your work , some of this modern "wizardry". It's also a way to avoid work. Perspective. You always have to keep the perspective.
