I guess we'll just agree, to disagree then.

That's cool. I should have said I'm not trying to change your opinion. My bad.

We use email for business because the data is way too big for other systems. But for the family, text.

I use email all the time. Facebook is good to communicate with people in a more superficial fashion but for more personal correspondence I prefer email.

OP, I use my email every day! I'm starting to wean myself off of FB and not looking back.

That's where the new systems come in. You can not only share data you can share it using a system that provides version control and change notifications!

The new systems are much better than email.

Of course

I get the email notifications from this site along with other sites and dating sites. why wouldn't anyone be using email in 2014?

I have to use email.

How else would I receive all my spam?

Default I still use email

and I have a cousin I last heard from after Thanksgiving just this week--I sent an email with my new telephone number to several people. She said she just doesn't check her email very often (ya think!?). She uses FB almost exclusively to communicate and I suppose she texts, too, as her son gave her a smart phone of some kind last year.

I had a friend years ago who was ticked off because her husband asked her to check his email a couple of times a day when he was at a week-long conference. She said it was a tremendous waste of her time! (Probably took 15-20 minutes.) Now she is on FB for at least an hour every day playing the games, etc., and keeps encouraging me to sign up to stay in touch with all our classmates from nearly 50 years ago. I do have an account, but check it probably once a week, if that, and my friend doesn't know about it.
