I think what we're seeing is the separation of message and medium. I actually put up a <a href="http://postful.wordpress.com/2007/03/26/the-medium-isnt-the-message/" rel="nofollow">post about this</a> a week ago. People produce messages in whatever format they prefer and we can receive them in whatever format we prefer. You leave a voice message and I could receive a printed letter (say by running things from <a href="http://www.jott" rel="nofollow">jott</a> to <a href="http://www.postful.com" rel="nofollow">postful</a>). Electronic interchanges allow us to each work and interact in ways that are most comfortable to us without placing a burden of conformity on those we wish to interact with. Of course, I don’t think that postal mail is dead yet :).

Similarly, people still talk to each other over wires even though we have email. Except for Morse Code, it's hard to come up with a communication medium that has died out completely when a new one came along. Instead, it's usage changes to fulfill a niche (think radio vs TV, for example). Great comments on email pitfalls. That "lobbying testy emails" can a lot of times be attributed to the <a href="http://nerdguru.blogspot.com/2007/03/beware-its-email-not-conversation.html" rel="nofollow">lack of context with email</a> that gets lost when voice inflection and body language aren't there to help convey a message. I too hate the <a href="http://nerdguru.blogspot.com/2007/04/making-jerk-of-yourself-with-reply-all.html" rel="nofollow">reply all bug</a>. It astonishes me how often that happens.
