I think your insistence on the ease of checking email just says more about your time and place in history than it does about email. You think it's simple to incorporate email into your lifestyle because you grew up on email - you live and breathe email at work and school. That doesn't happen anymore. People now grow up touching a face on a smartphone screen to talk to someone. They write "FavreFan" on their phone and then poof you're right there to chat with or video conference. They sit on a bus and then all of a sudden a face pops up on their phone with text written underneath it. It takes one button to respond. Though FB is also getting long in the tooth that's still around and so is instagram and snapchat. More of the same. Imagery and text are intertwined in all these platforms, and the interface is so radically different than email that there's a long ass lerning curve when you come from the world of Insta and Snapchat to email for the first time.

Email is cold and boring - there are no faces and no real-time comms. No three dots to let you know someone is typing or no double check in blue color to let you know someone read your message. There's a subject line - what the fuck is a subject line? Also, what the fuck is a @gmail.com? It's a totally different and foreign world. They have to get used to that. You don't because email more or less was your Snapchat or your Insta.

It takes one button to check email on your phone.

This just how you know you are getting older.

I still can't believe the younger generation mostly watches other people open boxes or play video games rather than doing literally anything else that wouldn't be the most boring thing in human history outside of a NBA thread.

"It's difficult to learn how to use email and learn how to check it once a day if you didn't grow up with it" might be the worst argument I've ever heard attempted on this board. It's a ridiculous thought.

Right. It's not like they have to boot up the old Commodore to check email.

You can literally check your email while taking a shit. It doesn't get any easier than that.

This right here is the fucking worst. My oldest likes to watch those videos on You Tube. I've gotten really good at finding them when she watches them then blocking the channels. She's just old enough to bitch that she can't find whatever she was watching like 10 minutes ago. Then I offer her the option to watch Scooby Doo and she's usually in. Win win.

Watch people open boxes? What is that?

Lots of people watch a box for hours a day and it doesn't even have the decency to open.

She's worried about checking 100 emails per week? Welcome to the real world.

I literally get 50 emails/hour. I studied to be an accountant but now I'm just a professional letter-writer.

I know this is going to sound like a crazy fantasy but every word of this story is true. A weeks days ago, my girlfriend happened to mention to me how attractive our new neighbor Linda was…

A $50 Hooker on the Vegas strip comes across as being less desperate. Face it Brick. Your days as "troller to the message board stars" is about over at this point.

Nothing more boring than talking, thinking, and wondering about what the "younger generation" is doing. Too often it just comes across as a bunch of old farts who have little to nothing better going on in their miserable lives.
