Goodbye Email, Hello IM
Posted by Stowe Boyd
In an article at GMToday of all places, I found some interesting stats re: teen use of IM:
"According to research conducted by AOL (America Online) about 93 percent of 13-to-17-year-olds use some kind of Internet instant messaging system, and 73 percent say they use instant messaging more than e-mail."
...
"Also according to AOL’s research, when given a choice between television, telephone, instant messaging and radio, and told they could have access to only one form of communication for a month, 41 percent of teens chose television, 33 percent chose instant messaging and just 17 percent chose the telephone."
Email is dying, and the teenagers won't mourn it.
