-> I mean, come on. Everyone uses email.

Not actually. I've been a consultant for a few years now, and have worked with executives who have their assistants print out their email for them in order to review. It isn't limited to Wall Street.

Though it's probably something we'll see less and less of as the years go by.



Isn't that how Donald Knuth handles email? I heard his wife prints out emails and types his replies for him.


More accurately, his secretary (as per https://cs.stanford.edu/~uno/email.html).

As per https://www.quora.com/What-is-it-like-to-be-Knuths-secretary, the secretary role has changed a couple of times in the last couple of years.
