For years, senior people did not type their own email, or even read it on a screen.

Reading this I can't help but think of the old "hello world" computer program humor [1] predicated on the idea that the higher the you went up the corporate hierarchy the less computer savvy that person would be:

    New Manager
    ===================

    10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"
    20 END

    Middle Manager
    ===================

    mail -s "Hello, world." bob@b12
    Bob, could you please write me a program that prints "Hello, world."?
    I need it by tomorrow.
    ^D

    Senior Manager
    ===================

    % zmail jim
    I need a "Hello, world." program by this afternoon.

    Chief Executive
    ===================

    % letter
    letter: Command not found.
    % mail
    To: ^X ^F ^C
    % help mail
    help: Command not found.

    % damn!
    !: Event unrecognized
    % logout
