Comment: eMail...email...? (Score 1) 262

Email has a human form factor appropriate for non-audio human communication.

Email is a direct decedent of chipped-stone and clay-tablets. Humans' need a language (audio, visual ...), and society needs records and documents.

IOW: Written email (stone, clay, paper ...) will continue to evolve, until societies crumble and humans go extinct.

What is the next step in societies creating records and documents for transmission (print-share-keep mail, telegraph, email ...)? Maybe we will call it eGraph or ether-image, but the basic human purpose/need will be continued.

No, that would be a subset of Philosophy that deals with question of Truth. Your assertion about "slightly truer truth" is laughable, it has indeed occurred where science has embraced a point of view, retreated from it, and taken it up again. Asimov was wrong. The only thing we can say is that scientific viewpoints, models, assertions *change*, there is no guarantee of improvement.

It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for.
