End of Email

This is just something that I have been noticing a lot lately. Awhile back in time... (a couple of years ago) People kept talking about how Email is going to make the post office go out of business. I never believed that but I am sure with the invention of PC's and getting them to talk to each other over this Internet thing has slowed down the amount of love letters one may send to another. I am sure that with the ability to get your phone bill or credit card bill emailed to you and pay it on line has dropped how heavy the mail carriers bags are. Now... With this new pain in the ass thing called SPAM (no not that fake meat in a can) is Email going away? I have noticed that I have not been receiving as many emails as I used to. Now everything is done though Instant Messaging. I know two things... The Spammers haven't started nailing me on Google Talk... And as long as I use my SKYPE I won't get hit with spammers... I think it is amazing how technology makes things easier but then there is something that comes out and makes it more of a pain in the ass... So, My view is Email was great... Spammers do what they think they need to do. I do not have a spam issue with my email. But there is just something about logging into google talk and getting replies almost immediatly...
