There already has been a paradigm shift. University students ("college" for you
'merkins) use facebook, myspace (less now, thankfully!) and IMs as their
primary online communication method. A number of students at my university
use email purely because the university uses it for internal systems
and communication, and use the above for everything else.
I think you'll find that "we" are the paradigm shift that needs to happen.
The younger people have already moved on. :)
