Voice-mail's Slow Death

I actually have a voice-mail message that says "I don't check my voicemail".

Which makes getting this article on PopMatters easy:

But on this subject of voice mail, I’m completely in sync with the techno-optimists who regard change as inherently positive. If you yearn for voice mail these days, you are hopelessly nostalgic for something that was actually detrimental and inefficient. I’m almost to the point where I have a revolutionary fervor about eradicating voice mail, and regarded it as somewhat treasonous when someone leaves me one or checks their own, thereby encouraging the continued exchange of information by that moribund medium.


My emphasis.

I am wondering if you all are actually using voicemail at school. Is there a reason we are paying for this silliness?
