Pretty sure you are living in a bubble.

Email is incredibly heavily relied upon and with great success. People get their pay receipts, their rental applications, notifications of mentions on social media, speeding tickets, music and gig notifications, reminders to get their pet to the vet, X-ray reports, prescription reminders and I could go on.

Not to mention the huge boom in email digests and blogs over the past 5+ years.

I haven't seen - _any_ businesses communication conducted over signal or WhatsApp - ever. I'm not saying it doesn't happen somewhere but it's certainly not common place. And telegram? I didn't even realise that still existed!



Everybody lives in a bubble right? If you travel to South America or parts of Asia you will see that you'll mostly conduct business in WhatsApp.
