There was a time not too long ago when technology bloggers and pundits (myself included) believed that email was going away. We thought that the system would be replaced by Facebook messaging, IM, social networking, and other variations of online communication that were more elegant and less abused than email.

We were wrong. I was wrong.

We failed to see one major flaw in our judgment. Despite so many people being on Facebook and other forms of communication, everyone has an email address. Even with the necessity of many to check their other forms of communication regularly, almost obsessively, email remains an activity that most do at least once a day. The reason that it hasn’t died and likely won’t die any time in the near future is the ability of mobile devices to keep the archaic form of communication ever-accessible and easily-usable.

This infographic from Boston Nissan Dealers explores how mobile technology like smartphones and tablets are fueling the continued growth of email.
