But when have I let such trivialities get in the way of offering my opinions? :-) I posit that one way the youth of today are conveying their thoughts in through non-textual means: Through Snapchat (i.e., marked up photos/images), and through the sharing of meme images/animations. One mixed (textual and non-textual) medium popular in many parts of the world (and with many parallels to emails/mailing lists) seems to be WhatsApp and similar messaging apps.
