In these heady days of DMs and instant messaging, we have to appreciate how the humble email has put up a fight. If you're anything like me, your personal inbox is probably full of Black Friday deals, spam, and the occasional Important Thing that you keep putting off replying to, and you know what? All those things need a place to go, so it's just as well they have one.
More often than not, many of us in white collar jobs associate emails with work, as well as the arrangement of Zoom meetings that could have easily been an email. No matter what kind of work you do, it's likely you deal with Gmail or similar in some capacity. As a result, they make a great subject for memes that consider all the practicalities and pitfalls of one of the most antiquated forms of online communication. It has served us well.
