Anyone Still Use Email?

No, not really.
It's only used for lab results or appts.

Or sometimes the doctors offices' send over their forms to fill out

But, to get messages out to my friends and family, I'll just send a quick text.
 
I use email but my daughter didn't acknowledge the birthday egift card I sent her until almost 3 weeks later, so I'm not sure my daughter uses her email as much as she used to. I guess its facebook, phone calls, and texting for her.

I'd actually prefer if a few of the groups I'm in would use text chat group messages instead of email, tho since my phone notifies me of emails I guess it isn't as inefficient as it feels.

Going backwards is texting
Much like morse code

We had it right in the '50s

Reminds me of a poster of mine;

Yep and they worked every time, everywhere, never lost their signal and a person could hear the other as clear as a bell.
We have four old people's mobiles which suit us for emergency adding there are 3 brand new smartphones on the table in front of me never used as I have no love for them, except one for receiving bank codes, and replacing the old people's phones as the signal is soon to be removed for them and many other things.
I am on an HP laptop about a year old and have a brand-new spare still in its box, plus a number of others never now used.
Printers I detest except my latest one which is brilliant. Oh, the new Apple smartphone I purchased a few weeks back went into the dustbin, may God bless it, adding Apple products affect Pacemakers.
 
Face to face, land line phone, email, text . . . they all have their uses.

For me, the typical "smart" phone is a fiddly little thing with a tiny screen and tiny buttons. It does many things; none of them well. It's unnecessarily complicated and a pain in the butt to carry around and keep recharged. That said, I can and do use mine but only if there's not a better option.

I never have and never will have a facebook account.

My wife and I are both on Facebook Tommy, not in the sense that others are, but just for information about varied things. Yesterday I used it to ask about a factory recall on my car and got useful responses. Also, my wife has a new Tablet and got a Malware bug in it. More expense as I dare not touch it.
 
When I was working I used my business email for professional and personal correspondence. When I retired I was too lazy to set up a new email so fell back to my ancient AOL email.

It's funny how often I give my AOL email and someone says "wow, haven't seen that in years!".

So yes, I still use email, maybe not daily yet still on a regular basis.
 
I don't know how to do that text thing. My mouth still works, so I use my phone. I use email as the way we used to use US mail- bills, notifications, appts, etc. ( Today, US Mail is ad city.) Gone are the days of emailing stale jokes to everybody in the world, so they can send them back to you.
 
Yes, I do still use email. I didn't know it's becoming obsolete?? Mostly email relatives. I could use facebook but messaging there is not as good as email. I still receive tons of emails daily so it makes sense to send messages there too. I do have a smartphone too but dislike smartphones so I leave it off all the time. No one can get in touch with me except by email. Or voicemail which works whether the phone is on or off.
 
Use email numerous times a day. I text from both my phone and computer through my cell number. Also many times a day.

I use a desktop cellphone and tablet every day, and a laptop to replace the desktop when traveling.

My 11 year old grandson uses email - don't see it being obsolete anytime soon.
 
Yes I use email, but these days too much of the incoming mail is a scam trying to draw out account numbers and passwords. Grr.
