Email has led to individuals working in silos with lack of collaboration. Think of all the exercise we'd get if we had to get up out of our chairs to actually speak to one another through out the day.

Davin, that is a great point. I optimistically think, though, that in this kind of open collaborative ecosystem, there would be room for everyone. There would presumably emerge new forms of etiquette too, just like on Twitter now. I don't think having the capability for real time conversation negates the possibility of reasoned, longer-term, thoughtful discourse. This reminds me of how people thought for a while that Twitter would kill off blogging - but that hasn't happened, the two types of communication coexist quite happily, IMHO. Thanks for the reality check though!! Ahaha. Davin, that is a great point. I optimistically think, though, that in this kind of open collaborative ecosystem, there would be room for everyone.

Oh dear. This sounds like my version of hell. For folks who prefer to ponder, consider, and research before responding, I can't imagine a more hostile working environment that one where everything is real-time. What we're really fighting is poor communication. Email, as a medium generally, gets most of the blame for poor communication since it's where most of the poor communicators communicate. But, I suspect these same folks would promptly migrate their same habits to wikis, IM, and twitter if they were forced onto those media. They'd probably invent some new habits, too, once unbound from a decade of email etiquette. Great, innovative thought, but …
