I mean that it’s no longer actively being improved as a competitor to other forms of communication. Chat has taken over the world in both personal and business settings.
It’s not going to die because it’s the de facto default when nothing else is available, but it’s also not going to rise up and compete with modern chat solutions which are already ten times as feature rich and continuing to evolve.
It’s not meant to, I think it is perfect for the role it fills. I see it as thriving at what it set out to do, neither on life support nor struggling to maintain its achieved identity.
Always trying to improve things is often a very real problem. Email, like so many other things should have been, is best left as is.
What do you mean email is on life support?
