Over time I think these kids will learn that in the real world where you're trying to get work done, IM is annoying as hell. It's like having someone call you on the phone every few seconds. No thanks.
E-mail, web forums, and other "delayed" forms of communication are so much better for almost everything.
IM is really only a substitute for the phone. And then only when it makes sense, like to save money on long distance or when you need to be quiet.

Yeah, I, too, am beginning to appreciate e-mail over messenger. Especially since I haven't been on for more than 10 consecutive minutes since the start of mathcamp...
