It's actually a scam pushed by Big Water to get you to use more water and line their pockets.

Email is becoming obsolete anyway. I only use it personally to register accounts online. I have an old email address that I got 20 years ago. I haven't checked it in years. It holds several hundred thousand emails and was constantly full of junk mail. It just became totally useless to me a long time ago.

We use email at work, but not as much as we used to because there are better ways to communicate since everyone has a phone. We don't even use the computers in our offices much anymore because it's just easier to use a phone. The execs have tablets that they carry around, then dock at their desks. They don't even have desktop computers anymore.
