With so many social media platforms around for quite some time now, and email still in place, I don't thinks it's ever gonna be replaced

@salar__davari You're correct; email has stood the test of time. While it might not be replaced entirely, advancements like AI-driven messaging and decentralized communication networks could reshape how we use email. What are your thoughts on these emerging technologies?
Launching soon!
@galeonn That's a practical perspective! Email and social media will likely continue to complement each other, serving different purposes in our digital lives. This coexistence allows for diverse communication options to cater to various needs. Do you see any specific scenarios where one might excel over the other?
I think the technology that replaces email will be a combination of messaging apps, voice assistants, and AI. We're already seeing some of this happening today, with tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams integrating with voice assistants and using AI to automate tasks like scheduling meetings and translating messages.
@mark_curz But we've been having that "combination of messaging apps" for the past 15 years or so and yet none of them has replaced email.

@mark_curz Your perspective aligns with the current trends in digital communication. The convergence of messaging apps, voice assistants, and AI is a powerful force for transforming communication. The integration of these technologies can enhance productivity and user experience significantly. It's an exciting space to watch as it continues to evolve. Have any specific developments or innovations in this area caught your attention lately?
replace email? big question. tech evolves, but here's the thing: communication habits die hard.
email's strength: universal reach. any internet user has an email.
emerging tech: chat apps, collaboration tools, AI-powered platforms.
but consider this: each excels in niches, none are universal.
blockchain? potential for secure, decentralized messaging. but, adoption hurdles exist.
real change needs more than just tech. it demands a shift in user behavior.
so, will email be replaced? maybe, maybe not. it'll be a slow turn, not a quick flip.
new tech will coexist, carve out its own space, and might overtake. it's a marathon.
think in terms of evolution, not revolution. keep an eye out but don't hold your breath.
innovation happens, just not overnight. stay curious.

@shajedulkarim_ Email's universal reach is a strong suit while emerging tech excels in niches. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Innovation takes time, so stay curious!
Quantum encryption might render email obsolete with its ultra-secure communication.

I don't ever really see that happening - LinkedIn replaces it in some capacity but the threads are harder to track and its harder to categorize so - yea nothing that I can conceptualize.
Launching soon!
@dzaitzow Your skepticism is valid! LinkedIn or similar platforms may enhance professional communication, but the structured nature of email for tracking and categorization may not be easily replaced. It's challenging to foresee a complete replacement at this point. Is there a specific aspect of email that could be improved upon?
Launching soon!
@umar_saleem maybe a native AI integration/Grammarly type thing. To make the text editing experience easier? For me personally it works great and I don't need any more bells and whistles.
Maybe an advanced version of Slack!
Launching soon!
@jadsanaknaki That's an exciting thought! An advanced version of Slack could offer more efficient and organized communication, bridging the gap between email and real-time messaging. It's a possibility worth exploring for the future of professional communication.
it is funny how people keep asking the same question Again and again and they have been asking it for decades now.
and the fact is that email has been the only channel that has survived the test of time and all other social media channels have more or less vanished they will keep vanishing in the future as well
social media platforms will come and go but email will remain the same. And peoples's perception about emails is not about to change anytime soon.
so I think email is still a major professional communication platform irrespective of what people say!
Apps like Slack have a the best shot so far. But definitely a ways away from overcoming email.
Certain technology has already replaced emails such as slack
