Wortwörtlich (20): E-Mail

Genervt von der überfüllten Inbox? Von briefähnlicher Form und Förmlichkeit? Wer statt E-Mail lieber Soziale Netzwerke und Messaging Services nutzt, sollte Alexis C. Madrigals Verteidigung des alten, zähen, offenen, flexiblen, responsiven, interoperablen und dezentralen Kommunikationsmediums lesen:

„Perhaps the way, then, to recover some of the old web, before the dominance of Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook, isn’t to build new competitors to those companies, but to redouble our use and support of good old email. Email – yes, email – is one way forward for a less commercial, less centralized web, and the best thing is, this beautiful cockroach of a social network is already living in all of our homes.“
