<p>Strange. When I started my current job in 1992, very few students used email. They got increasingly savvy over the years, and it saved all of us a lot of hassle, especially students who lived off campus, had jobs, families, and so on. I would guess that peaked around 2004. Since then, students are increasingly email-illiterate. They might know how to Tumlbr, but email is a mystery. I WISH they would email me more often so they can avoid getting behind and so on.</p>
