As for email: I love it - my favourite method of communication. I realise that this makes me eccentric for my age - literally no one I know who is my age uses email like I do (they all only have email addresses because they're obliged to as a means of signing up for online services). I find it so personal and meaningful compared to the other aforementioned channels.
yes agree..Zach you are an exception!! Most youngsters I know (and also many women!!) use Whatsapp,Viber or Immo/Skype ONLY for communication. Email more and more only is used because they need to register something...or when they need to communicate with a government authority or a larger company. In South-America (were i lived for nearly 6 years) I also noticed this,but there its like that because many people do not have a computer at home...and they only use their smartphone.

Most people even HATE it when you ask them to communicate through emails..!!! That saddens me...but its like that.
