Geek News: The Fall of E-mail?

Hmmmm.  Well, sort of.  I don't foresee a day coming any time soon when Nerd Lords will text their students.  I know mine won't ... if only because too many of them don't know how to text!  My peeps and I text each other all the time, though, but we also send email, online chat, call, and sometimes write actual physical letters and notes.  The real danger, I suppose, is that some people (read: young people) will become so used to the hottest new mode of communication that they are unable to function with any other kind when they enter life situations that require them.  You/we should be growing proficient in ALL these modes.
