The incoming generation, after all, doesnt do e-mail. Oh, they might have an account. They use it only as we would use a fax machine: as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites. They rarely check it, though. Todays instant electronic memossuch as texting and Facebook and Twitter messagesare more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They go without the salutation (称呼语) and the signoff (签收); we already know the “to” and “from.” Many corporations are moving to 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 This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated.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-read message that you can readand respond toon the go.The coming of the mobile era is responsible for the decline of e-mail. Instant written messages bring great convince to people. They can deal with them at about any time: before a movie, in a taxi, waiting for lunch. And because these messages are very brief, theyre suitable for smart phone typing. Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. On the other hand, tweets and texts feel ephemeralyou read them, then theyre gone, into an endless string, e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file, search and return to later. Its easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important new sand longer explanations.So, e-mail wont go away completely. Remember, weve been through a transition (过度) like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. Thats not how it works. Postal mail found its smaller market, and so will e-mail. New technology rarely replaces old one completely; it just adds new alternatives.4.
