Subject: eMail May Be Here To Stay Indefinitely!
by Peter Vogel
Computerworld.com reported that "We were using email in the 1970s, and
we'll still be using it in the 2070s." The March 17, 2021 article
entitled "Email is for yesterday, today, and tomorrow" included these
comments:
People are still telling me that email is obsolete, that it can be
replaced by Slack, Teams, or Google Chat. Some folks swear they can do
more over instant messaging. Or, even better, some proclaim (with an
odd glare in their eyes from their webcam ring light), Zoom, Google
Hangouts Meet, or BlueJean Meetings are the future.
Email's enemies claim it's a waste of time and energy, that it sucks
the life out of their day with countless messages morning, noon, and
night. That it's always interrupting them.

Subject: Double digits: Iowa's 515 & 319 area codes slated for switch
to 10-digit dialing for local calls
By Tyler Jett
Let's suppose you want to dial 515 Brewing in Clive.
If you live in the Des Moines metro, you just dial the seven-digit number.
But soon, you'll have to dial 515 to reach 515.
That's because 10-digit dialing is coming to Iowa.

Subject: Utah campaign against porn marches on with phone filter
plan
By Lindsay Whitehurst And Sophia Eppolito
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Conservative lawmakers in Utah have fired
another salvo in their longtime campaign against online porn with a
new requirement that all cellphones and tablets sold in the state
automatically block pornography in a plan that critics call a
significant intrusion on free speech.
