This to me only confirms that email is far from dead. All the new hip communication methods only stack on top of it. Mostly there is nothing wrong with the communication tool, it is how about it is used.
Some other examples:
- Meeting chairs rescheduling a meeting or the location very shortly before the meeting takes place.
- People calling me when I do not respond to their email within 30 mins, as if it is a realtime communication tool
- People physically interrupting me although I made it painfully obvious that I do not want to be interruped by sitting in a closed room with headphones on
I could go on and on. Most people are complete idiots when it comes to communication, myself included.
