Email From Start to (Eventual) Finish

There have been many stories about email dying for 3 or 4 years now. It seems that everything that people and businesses were told just 4 or 5 years ago, that email was a must-have, may be quickly reversing itself.

Some businesses (and people) are starting to redirect their incoming emails to other forms of communication online or to SMS.

Before we can truly decide what the future of email really is, we should take a look at it’s history and how it has evolved. This graphic by Focus brings us way back to the good ol’ days (the 90s) and visually depicts where we’ve been with email. Knowing where we’ve been can help us to better predict the future.

Well, maybe not, but it’s a cool Infographic! Click to enlarge.
