What do you mean by "your email"? Does anyone really have only one email address? I've cut down to three in the last few years. It amazes me that, in the age of free addresses, everyone doesn't have at least one, separate personal email address for friends and family apart from their public and/or company email.
- zokier 7y agoDoes anyone use email to communicate with friends and family? To me it is almost as quaint as sending snail mail.
- mackrevinack 7y agois quaint a bad thing now? I like the pace of email better compared to instant-messaging where I usually feel like I have to apologise if im replying a few days later. email is also better for having multiple topics. if you try to ask somebody about something off topic when using instant-messaging then it can easily get pushed out of view and forgotten about since it's all just a single thread I wouldn't attempt write any sort of long form communication using IM and I wouldn't be cruel enough to make others read something like that
- zokier 7y ago> is quaint a bad thing now? Not at all, indeed I do like email as a communication form. It was merely an observation that in practice using email for personal communication is exceedingly rare, at least in my social circles. > I wouldn't attempt write any sort of long form communication using IM From what I can tell, people have not migrated their long form communication to other platforms. Instead people seem to have abandoned long form altogether, as sad as that might be.
- checkyoursudo 7y agoI email my dad all the time, and he emails me back!
- IronBacon 7y agoI do, when something is bigger than an SMS.
- StanislavPetrov 7y agoPersonally, as someone who never talks on the phone, email is my primary communication device, probably equal with SMS.
