From the NYT:
Tom Boellstorff, a professor of digital anthropology at the University of California,
Irvine, said part of the problem is that offline and online communications borrow
from each other. For example, the e-mail term CC stands for carbon copy, as in the
carbon paper used to copy a letter. But some gestures, like opening an e-mail with
“hello” or signing off with “sincerely,” are disappearing from the medium.
