Email

Where once bar-going singles exchanged phone numbers, now it's the email address that gets scrawled across the backs of matchbooks. Short for electronic mail, email is sent and received by millions of people worldwide. No more waiting on the whims of the post office (and its old-school "snailmail"); now people exchange simple, text-based messages (or gild the lily with images, sound files, or other attachments) that arrive at their destination almost instantaneously.
