“E-mail is for older people”…
E-mail is for older people, teens say in survey - Yahoo! News
E-mail is for grown-ups and U.S. teenagers now prefer instant messaging to communicate with each other online, according to a survey released on Wednesday.
Internet users from 12 to 17 years old say e-mail is best for talking to parents or institutions, but they are more likely to fire up IM when talking with each other, the nonprofit Pew Internet and American Life Project found.
E-mail is still used by 90 percent of online teens. But the survey found greater enthusiasm for instant messaging.
Oh great. As if I didn’t feel old enough already. Now email is for old fogies!
