Well, not really. I mean, I don’t believe that. But I hear it all the time:
“Email is the root of all evil.”
“Email is an inefficient method of communication.”
“I hate email! Just call me! Just come see me! It’s easier.”
Email has garnered a great deal of resentment in the workplace these last couple of decades. Someone said to me recently, “Well, when email started, we all thought it was just going to be a way to exchange quick messages. We didn’t expect it to become our principal means of communication.”
