IM doesn't work unless everyone you want to keep in touch with is also on IM. I have regular, multiple-times-a-week email correspondents who are never on IM. They don't even keep their phones on enough for texting. It's email or nuthin'.

Have you tried talking to the TikTok generation? They don't do email. Most don't even sign into the email clients on their phones.

And before that it was Snapchat! Met some young people who wanted to keep in touch with me a few years ago and had this funny conversation about email after me saying I didn't have Snapchat or Facebook or Instagram or WhatsApp. Oh, you can text me with SMS (that still works!) or email me!
