Who would have thought that email would be dubbed a “dying means of communication” so soon. I mean snail mail had a longer expiration date. Well, apparently facebook is edging out email, according to recent studies which showed that only 11 percent of teens use email to communicate. While the statistics seem to be limited to teens I suspect it also reflects a growing trend with adults. I for one can say that my email inbox has been limited to UP Law announcements and spam (sad but true). No one announces gimmicks or posts funny articles through email anymore. It’s enough to make anyone feel left out. Despite the bad publicity it has gotten over privacy issues Facebook continues to dominate the internet with close to 500 million users. Social networking in general is predicted to climb from over 2.1 billion accounts in 2010 to over 3.6 billion by 2014. If this is true things aren’t looking so good for the 3 of us out there who still don’t have Facebook accounts.
