Email dead?


Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook states that email is "probably" going away.

Her rationale goes:

"...in the world of consumer technology, if you want to know what people like us (presumably old fogies) are going to be doing tomorrow, you (have to) look at what teenagers are doing today." 

What do you think?

Is email dead? Personally, I think email still serves some purpose. And actually its a stretch to assume that since only 
11% of teenagers use email; email is probably going away.

Do you write on your wall on Facebook for private messages to you friends? I know some naively do. Or do you use the Messages function in Facebook?

We have to remember that internet users does not only consists of teenagers, there are other groups of people as well.

And she is the COO of Facebook .
