Studies have shown that the number of people using web-based e-mail addresses has declined between 2009 and 2010. It is recorded that the amount has decreased 5.9 percent and it is believed that the cause of this decrease is because of the rise in e-mail on mobile devices. It has become more convenient for people to check their e-mail and communicate through e-mail directly from their mobile device, rather than logging onto a web-site linking to an e-mail account. The amount of people using their mobile e-mail has increased by 40 percent. In fact, young internet users are beginning to dismiss e-mail altogether. There has been a 24 percent decrease of young internet users, between the ages of 12 and 17, using e-mail. This trend is due to the various social media networks available to them, making e-mail an unecessary media outlet for them.
