Perhaps because email itself wasn't as big of deal back then? Phone calls and snail mail were used with a lot more regularity back then.
- chrismeller 8y agoHeh. I’ll be honest, that sounds a lot like a millennial projecting onto all the old people in this thread. Sure there’s an element of truth to it, but email was insanely popular before the iPhone too...
- amenod 8y agoHe he, this. E-mail rised in the 90s and was hugely popular very soon, because it brought real benefits. I was under impression that in today's world the number of emails is going down (on account of social networks and whatnot).
- hitpointdrew 7y ago>like a millennial projecting Well, I am almost 40, so not really a millennial at all, but a gen x'er. And I remember being in college and going days, maybe weeks without checking email. I also remember my university giving me an a .edu address, which I was technically supposed to use (supposedly there was important information sent to it from professors), but never logged into once.
