Now I'm feeling kinda old

Is E-mail Just for Old People?:
A new study on the Internet and American life from Pew Research has been getting a lot of publicity this last week. According to its surveys, the vast majority of teenagers prefer instant messaging to e-mail, especially for communicating with their peers. In fact, researchers say young folks regard e-mail as a "quaint way of communicating with older relatives." Wow. And we old folks thought e-mail was still the "killer app" of the Internet.
Where else can you hear from so many citizens of foreign lands - particularly Nigerians?
