Is email vital to you?

On behalf of software firm Nasstar, ICM recently polled the UK recently to find out how much we've all come to depend on email.

When asked whether email was vital ...

41% of teenagers agreed
50% of 25-34 year olds agreed
44% of 35-44 year olds agreed

41% of women, compared to 38% of men

Teenagers tend to use a much wider range of media than oldies - texts, mobile calls, IM, twitter, Facebook/Bebo ... - which may explain their lesser reliance on email.

Additionally those of us in work tend to depend on email in a business context, upping our figures.
