This poll does not expire

Of 25 to 34-year-olds, 50% said they could not carry on without access to email, the ICM poll found.

This age group was identified as pioneers in using electronic communication to keep in touch with the office as well as friends.

But contrary to expectations, the latest technologies have not been monopolised by the younger generation. Some 41% of teenagers admitted to relying on their email, whereas 44% of 35 to 44-year-olds say that their email is vital.

Channel 4 Online wrote:
More women than men would find it hard without email contact - 41% compared with 38%, respectively.

The study, carried out for software company Nasstar, also revealed regional variations.

Respondents in the South East placed most importance on email access - 43% would struggle without it.

But only 34% in Wales and the South West rely on their email.

Chief executive of Nasstar, Charles Black, said: "The first wave was the mobile phone, and many of us would admit we rely on our mobile and can't remember how we ever survived without it.


"This poll shows that the next phase is the growth of mobile email. While teenagers are passionate about their mobile phones and texting in particular, the older generations are relying more and more on email because of its use in a business capacity."
