Why Email Will Be Obsolete by 2020
By: John Brandon

Stick a fork in your email--within five years, something else is going to replace it.
What's going to happen to digital communication over the next five years? Will we still be weeding out unimportant messages and fishing through enormous email chains trying to find one pesky link to a business plan? Will we still battle to get to inbox zero?
I sure hope not.
I'm predicting that a new communication channel will replace email by 2020. In fact, there are already signs that business is starting to move away from email as a primary form of digital communication. We have so many alternatives. You can send a text message or a DM on Twitter. You can drop someone a note on Facebook or start a chat.
In my own workday, email has become less and less important. There are entire groups of people (public relations, for one) who contact me primarily on social networks first. Friends never send email anymore. They almost always send a text or chat on Facebook. Even a few of my colleagues tend to use apps like Campfire more than email.

Want to reward employees for all their hard work? Try one of these 5 ideas.
TGIF. You've worked hard all week, and so have your employees. As people start pondering what to rent on Netflix this weekend, production naturally goes down. But that's okay!
As long as you acknowledge this fact and make the best of it.
You need to capitalize on that relaxed mood. Take advantage of one (or more) of the following ideas, keep morale high and build loyalty in your employees:
1. Take your team out for lunch.
Great professional sports teams often share a meal together when they want to build chemistry. The San Antonio Spurs, America's most successful professional sports franchise, is well known for their team dinners. (Just check out this great pic.)
Sharing a meal together puts everyone on the same level and gives you a chance to see your colleagues from a different perspective.
Who said there's no free lunch? That was before you were the boss.
