Is E-mail Dead?

With the rise of rapid-fire messaging, the digital letter seems to be crawling toward the fate of snail mail. If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands, you might have a hard time believing the news: e-mail is on the decline. The total volume of e-mail has dropped about 10 percent since 2010. 6

The word \

day, a lot of e-mail begins with a salutation. Maybe it's \instead of \it's there. And because there was so much overhead involved with sending a letter folding, enveloping, addressing, stamping, mailing—few bothered to send only a few words. The effort seemed to justify a longer message. Once viewed as the death of the personal human touch, e-mail has now taken over the letter's place as a form of new communication—both business and personal. But is its day in the digital sun coming to a close?

Today's instant electronic memos such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages—are more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They get rid of the salutation; we already know the \messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise. And less time.

This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, I can now send you an easily consumed message that you can read—and respond to—on the go.

The decline of e-mail corresponds neatly to the dawn of the mobile era.

Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Was it just a transitional technology~~from postal mail to the new, rapid-fire communication channels?

Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. Whereas tweets and texts feel transient―you read them, then they're gone, into an endless string e-mail still feels like something you have, that you can file, search and return to later. It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important news, longer explanations.

So in a word, no, e-mail won't go away completely. Remember, we've been through a transition like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That's not how it works. Postal mail found its place, and so will e-mail. Technology rarely replaces an institution completely; it just adds new avenues.
