In the best traditions of building (or breeding) better idiots, we find today that children (who must be listened and pandered to at all times) believe that e-mail is too hard.
From InformationWeek:
"In an interview at the Web 2.0 Summit on Tuesday afternoon, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg elaborated on his Monday announcement about Facebook's new Messages system. He said that high school students he's talked to feel e-mail just isn't responsive enough, an assessment he translated into a dislike of the rigors of e-mail: having e-mail addresses, subject lines, CC and BCC fields, and other structured data entry."
