Communication carries cost. Email has removed that cost almost completely, which is why it is inefficient. If you want me to use my precious time to read stuffs, might as well pay me for doing that. A good summary is of course a way to reduce the receiver's cost, but it also helps to impose a cost on the sender. Just random thoughts, anyway.
- deepGem 10y agoValid point. My initial thought was to summarise the email that the sender sends out, tailored to the receiver's context, rather than summarising at the receiver's end. I'm still open to that thought but by and large, based on what I'm hearing, people are slowly moving out of email. I don't have sufficient data to make this case.
