You're also on hackernews. You're probably a programmer of some sort. Quit assuming that everybody else is a technology forward as you. Most of society does not get their emails on their phone. Most of cell-phone carrying society can always receive a text.
- Jare 13y agoFWIW I'm the only person in my family that reads hacker news, and I'm also the only person in my family that does NOT receive personal email on my phone.
- mrjatx 13y agoYeah, people are different. Assuming everyone gets email on their phone vs text messaging which is pretty much ubiquitous is completely my point. I can cement my point even further. You don't get emails, your family does, but you all get text messages. Bam, that was easy.
- bane 13y agoActually, I went through and thought about it a bit. Most of the people I know that are my age or younger have actually turned off texting because it's almost entirely used for spam. It's pretty much a byproduct of a time that's quickly going by.
