End of Email

If you follow enough of the chatter about social media and tech, you’ll pick up on a recurring trend: we love killing things off.

The Wall Street Journal recently declared the “end of email.”

A New York Times columnist observed that Facebook “felt dead.”

Even the billion-dollar-darling Twitter has the vultures circling: a recent Internet News article asked, “Is Twitter Dead? Who Killed It?” And TechCrunch has been casting a pessimistic eye at its lackluster growth.

In the same breath that we pronounce various types of e-communication media dead, dying, over, or expired, we try desperately to breathe life into “what’s next.”
