Email is Quaint


Quaint

adjective, -er, -est. 1. having an old-fashioned attractiveness or charm; oddly picturesque: a quaint old house.

It seems to me that young people,(anyone younger than me), don't use email much anymore.

Using email is almost like writing a letter and putting a stamp on it. Nobody does that anymore.

I'm on Facebook. Yes it's shocking but I am. I have a reason that I got on there in the first place that I won't divulge here, but now I am firmly entrenched on Facebook. I got a message this morning from a friend of mine who is older than I am on Facebook.

It seems like people wait until I'm online to say hi. Whether it's IM on Hotmail or Facebook or texting, nobody sends me email anymore. Unless it's work related.....then I call someone, they really don't like that. I'm supposed to conduct all of my work exchanges via email. I like talking. I don't like email.

So I guess for work......I'm supposed to email.

And for everything else....I'm supposed to sit here in front of the computer or have my Iphone on waiting for the next message to come in.

Email is over.
