Summary | Facebook Messenger's boss claims that consumers will use messaging apps more and more, at the expense of emails, phones, and mobile apps. Other people have also been privileging the conversational mode in the service industry: Kik's boss (Ted Livingston) uses "bots", which are robots that simulate human conversations. For instance, if you're hungry, you can order a pizza using Domino's pizza's bot. A similar trend is happening in China with WeChat.
