Dreaming of a world with less email
Luis Suarez of IBM provides an optimistic view of the future of email in yesterday's Mashable article, "A World Without E-mail: One Man’s Vision of a Social Workplace:" http://mashable.com/2010/09/03/world-without-email/ "With technology changing rapidly, it’s worthwhile to wonder if ten years down the line, e-mail may still be as prominent in our lives as it is today. “We will still have e-mail in ten years,” says Suarez. “I don’t want to kill all e-mail, but I want to help people re-purpose it. We will see traditional tools like e-mail redesigned to be used for what it was originally designed for.” For Suarez, the e-mail of the future will look something like this: “You get an alert, telling you how and where you can go and grab content … it won’t just be a notification system, but a read-write opportunity with the option to engage back so that information is no longer stuck in an inbox.”" Bring on that future!
