I wonder why people but so much effort trying to replace things that work perfectly and no one wants replaced. Email, door locks, etc. work well as it, it's a non-problem.
How about banks? I live in Poland and used to exchange Euros into Zloty at 3.97 with a 5% commission through my bank. Now I use Transferwise, and they give me a rate of 4.17 with a neglegible fee (a few cents). Now, that's an innovation that I welcome!
- Gustomaximus 9y agoOld candy bar phones worked perfectly. Why every invent full screen glass phones. I don't have a problem trying to reinvent email. I do have an issue if they use market power to damage an existing technology that works well and openly across platforms.

- cdancette 9y agoThis makes no sense for me. Email has plenty of issues too, you can't just take any new features the smartphones have and call it a default of the old phones. Email is "perfect" as long as nothing better replaces it, then it will no longer be perfect? A few issues of email I can think of : no guarantee your email will arrive, and no real acknowledgement it did. Also, Mailing lists are clunky for users (I still receive regularly emails with 500 recipients, where a mailing list would be far more appropriate). I also think of attachments, which are very limited in size with a lot of providers. So email is far from perfect, it's just that nothing better has arrived yet.

- jasonlotito 9y ago> I wonder why people but so much effort trying to replace things that work perfectly Because nothing works perfectly.
