The entire world relies on email but you can blow people's minds if you tell them you can read Outlook emails in Gmail or read Gmail mailboxes in Outlook. The days of everyone having a local email client are long behind us, people don't know the difference between apps and servers anymore.

"It works like email" means "oh, so I need to create a new account, like when I installed the Outlook app" to most people. Shockingly few people know the bare basics of how email works. You'll be surprised how many people I've spoken to don't understand that someone@gmail.com isn't the same person as someone@outlook.com. I have been called a liar and a hacker for demonstrating I could send an email from f.l.lastname@mydomain.tld. Whatever you think the base level of technological knowledge the average person has, it's ten times higher than what people actually know, and that includes young people.
