Were we doing stuff by email five years ago which really
didn't fit the email model very well, which stuff is
today escaping to media better designed for it?

Speaking only from my own observations, the quick chatty
time-wasting email sequences seem to have migrated to
SMS/Twitter/whatever, like kids (or others with nothing
better to do) on the phone all the time.  But I would say
email was not a good way to do that anyhow, it just seemed
cheaper than old phone calls used to be before wide
existence of personal phone devices (cell phones).  As far
as I see, email is still used for stuff that takes thought
or attention or responsibility, even though it may be sent
using the same smart phone as is used for texting/tweeting/whatever.
