It is going to be quite a shock when they get their first job and realize the business world runs on email. Assuming they can land one.

They'll have a pretty hard time getting a job if they don't check their e-mail to find out when the appointment for their interview is.

“E-mail has never really been a fun thing to use,” said Ms. Judge, 19. “It’s always like, ‘This is something you have to do.’ School is a boring thing. E-mail is a boring thing. It goes together.”

And if they think that college is boring, wait until they have to sit through their first meeting at work.

I was with you until this. Boredom means you are not engaged to your full potential. If the "real world" is even more boring than school, people should be complaining. (And someone should be making a killing on that inefficiency.)

Maybe you will be the one who is very shocked when email goes away and all business takes place on twitter.
