Is the email soon to be pointless?

I Look closely at people and see nobody uses the Internet to send regular emails anymore. What is up with that? I can tell you one thing,  email accounts for the younger generation is honestly pointless. We do not use it and the only time we would use it is to email are teachers letting them know we wont be in class because of whatever excuse we have.

With that being said about our generation, what about the generations after us? They wont have an email account probably until the get to college. Kids now a days have cell phones as early as the ages of 10,11, 12 etc. I remember my first cell phone wasn't until I was 16.

Now, since kids have cell phones early, why have an email account? Kids talk to their friends through text message, and instant messages. Have you ever ever heard any kids tell their friend email me, we will talk? No they say text me, and or I will talk to you online. The generations that come after us, emails will become pointless until they get to college.
