Michigan State may stop issuing email addresses because everyone uses Facebook

So many students use chatting tools and social networking sites that MSU is even considering phasing out the #1 internet tool of the last 30 years: email accounts. Because students are online all the time and messaging through other means, there is little need for personal, school-based email accounts. Everybody simply uses the built-in tools in the virtual spaces they inhabit.

Now it is true that users of social software use social features like messaging often.
