Ep2: Like the fax, email is becoming redundant | #LifeWithoutEmail with Luis Suarez & Claire Burge

Do you ever still use a fax machine? You know times have changed when your kids don’t even know what it is – so to in the use of email changing and evolving. In this podcast Claire & Luis share the journey from where we were to where we are going in a world without email with practical and simple explanations on the process of evolution as follows:

Is email outdated?
Why it is outdated
Why it isn’t outdated
What are the consequences of not moving on/adopting new technologies?
Is there a chance of revival?
Email as a communication hub rather than a communication method
The importance of understanding
Can social media realistically replace email?
What functions does email serve?
What functions do social tools serve?
