E-mail's Dying Breath

I don't have any of my friends e-mails. They don't have mine either. But it's interesting to note that online communication is how we communicate.

Do we IM? Nope. That's so Junior High. If I needed a response right away, I'd just text them.

We communicate via Facebook. Want to throw a birthday party? Invite your friends via Facebook. Facebook allows a group of friends to mass collaberate with each other without the redundancy of e-mail. You have one screen that records the conversation of the topic (event) and it's easy to follow.

I would never think of inviting my friends to an event via e-mail (or worse yet, send them an Evite... shudder).

Does this mean my generation has killed e-mail off? Not yet at least. E-mail still seems to be the best way to communicate at work. I'm willing to bet that eventually companies will have private mini company exclusive social networks that will replace internal e-mail.

Sending e-mail to an external party is it's only saving grace. And Eventually, sending external e-mails will integrate into social networks and things like yahoo mail will fade away.

E-mail really is going to die (or at the very least fade into the online network scene.
