Slack CEO, ahead of NYSE debut, predicts the end of company email as we know it in 7 years

The workplace-messaging firm Slack is confident that it will speed toward ending the world of email as we know it inside companies in the next seven years, predicts co-founder and CEO Stewart Butterfield.Slack's paying customers total over 85,000 people, and it has more than 10 million daily active users, the company said in a JanuaryConventional email will phase out between those users between five to seven years from now, Butterfield estimated.

"Everyone will choose this," he said of his platform, where companies can set up both public and private channels for employees to collaborate and direct messaging each other.

The end of Slack will follow soon thereafter. More and more ways to make employees “processed”. Less and less personal interaction.
