It can't die until it's been staked, beheaded, and its mouth stuffed with garlic

Not a day goes by anymore when a gaggle of goo-roo chasers on social media loudly proclaim email is "DEAD!!!" Now, I don't know if they are doing this for shock effect... or because they are simply devoid of ideas and see everyone else using a "death of" theme in their headlines and subject lines and titles... or because they can't get off the social media crack pipe and need to believe email is dead to stop the maddening cognitive dissonance haunting their dreams of being Flakebook millionaires. The most recent boogyman I heard was something about Google and Apple changing the way people can opt in using a "ghost" email address or something.
"Ghost email."
How Halloween...
Whatever the case, email ain't dead yet.
And I doubt it's going anywhere any time soon, either.
But, even if it did, so what?
Writing emails will sharpen (like a stake!) your other communication skills (speaking, writing, editing, etc). Every email you write, makes you better, even if incrementally, until, over time, your abilities compound on themselves and your competition is still running around playing with the newest bright shiny object they saw in a flakebook ad.
So you win either way, Count Chokula.
But, I would not fret about it.
Email supposedly "dies" all the time.
But until it's been staked, beheaded, its mouth stuffed with garlic, and the ground around it heavily salted it'll just keep coming back anyway...
So go forth and profit from email.
It's free to use (basically).
Works FAST.
