Kids say e-mail is, like, soooo dead
I got online since 1997 when I got a 14.4 kbps modem from my sister's friend. I just realised that it has already been 10 years! Wow! How could this be? I thought e-mail was still the simplest technology to keep in touch with people, while SNS was so complicated. But apparently young people think the other way.
In SNS, you have to log in and click around to check what your friends are doing, sometimes it gets so irritating having to check different networks for different people. It reminds me of the time when ICQ was still alive ("What is ICQ? Uncle", some teens might ask :P Give yourself an education here) and Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger were still infants, people tended to use different IMs and you had to keep different clients running at the same time (believe me, you wouldn't like doing this on a Pentium 166 MMX with a mere 48MB RAM).
Luckily, someone came up with all-in-one clients which can communicate with all major IMs and that did help a bit. I did not benefit from that since I have settled down with MSN messenger for a long time.
What is next? A multi-site-compliant SNS, or SNS-for-SNS in short? I am really looking forward to it. :^D
