    Reality is everyone has an email, and everyone will keep having an email. My 10 year old has an email so they could sign up to epic and steam. You basically need it to use the internet at all. So of course it will survive.

    Outside of business though, when was the last time you sent an email to someone you know?

      My mother uses email for nearly everything. I’m 31 now, but in high school she’d email me from the basement that dinner is ready.

      Just last month I received this… we chat on WhatsApp and phone calls regularly as well.

      I forwarded tickets to my wife. But for “normal” communication I emailed the city about a citation they gave me for my yard.

      My ex emailed me from a new account when he thought I’d blocked him everywhere else. I hadn’t, but I did after that!
