Opinion: Working at home should finally bury email


Today's digital collaboration tools are built for precisely the moment in which we face ourselves now: isolated and hobbled by subpar WiFi speeds and personal laptops with limited memory and processing power. — APA/AFP

There’s nothing good about the coronavirus pandemic, but maybe there can be collateral benefits. For example, it’s already forcing people to use the technology that everybody should have embraced already.

With legacy systems like email now creaking under the strain of work-from-home edicts, the time has come to leap into the future. We abandoned the fax machine (mostly) and no longer print out emails to read them (I hope). We can all adopt modern office-collaboration technology, too, if senior managers would get on board with technologies they’ve avoided using for years.
