Whilst trying to round up a cricket team on the weekend I was reliably informed that "email is dead" and if I want to get hold of any of the guys under the age of 19 then I'd better start team selections on Facebook!
This got me thinking so I asked the under 15's, under 18's and Seniors how they'd like to be called up to play? The result - text and Facebook were the outright winners, email was nowhere!
Looking around the teams, most have blackberrys or iphones (especially the under 15's) and for the younger teams, they have no email at all. When asked why, they tell me that it's too slow, only does one thing and doesn't go everywhere with them.
With the development of cloud computing networks and the move away from locally stored information, it seems a group of lads at a cricket club are positioning themselves nicely to be early adopters, leaving us email junkies way behind. Is this the definition of getting old?
