Farewell, Email

From the NYT:

The newest generation may be even more averse to email. “I have a nephew in England who’s 12, and I asked for his email address, and he said he didn’t have one but we could talk on Viber,” Mr. Freeman said, referring to an app that lets users make free phone calls and send free texts. “He’s completely leapfrogged over passing messages back and forth. There’s a real shame in that because there are some things that can only be expressed in something reflective and lengthy.”
