The New Snail Mail

Category: Culture , News , Postmodernism

According to a study by the Pew Internet and American Life project, barely 5% of American teens aged 12 to 17 prefer e-mail over instant messaging as their digital communications method of choice. Teens view e-mail as a way to talk to “old people” or institutions like companies. Kids, it seems, prefer the immediacy and mobility of instant messaging and text messaging to e-mail, which they might some day refer to as snail mail, the same way most people over 30 refer to the U.S. Postal Service.

Hmm. Very interesting. It actually makes sense. Wonder what they'll end up calling the USPS mail? Or will it be obsolete by then!
