Because believe it or not many people prefer doing things a slower, more thought out way. Just because technology is present doesn't mean we are obliged to use it.

Oh, and Bleach, when addressing an individual directly, it's spelled you. Use means something completely different. If you're from Philly or Jersey people say yous, but that's spelled differently.

Dude, nothing is popular from the UK (except the Who, but that's long past :p)

Okay in popular UK we
say "use" as in a group of people.

It's still spelled incorrectly. The plural of "you" is "you"

From Oxford Dictionary online:

you
pronoun second person sing. or pl. 1 used to refer to the person or people that the speaker is addressing. 2 used to refer to the person being addressed together with other people regarded in the same class. 3 used to refer to any person in general.

— ORIGIN Old English.

use
verb /yooz/ 1 take, hold, or deploy as a means of achieving something. 2 (use up) consume or expend the whole of. 3 treat in a particular way. 4 exploit unfairly. 5 /yoost/ (used to) did repeatedly or existed in the past. 6 /yoost/ (be/get used to) be or become familiar with through experience. 7 informal take (an illegal drug).

noun /yooss/ 1 the action of using or the state of being used. 2 the ability or power to exercise or manipulate something: he lost the use of his legs. 3 a purpose for or way in which something can be used. 4 value; advantage.

— PHRASES have no use for informal dislike or be impatient with. make use of use.

— ORIGIN Old French user, from Latin uti.

Heh, though I absolutely detest using it in writing, where I live it's y'all. I only use it in speech, but it's just what we say around here. I get teased for it relentlessly when I go up North. ;)

No.
you = plural, and you = singular. As I said in my previous comment, the plural for "you" is "you"
youse, you'se, yous are all slang.

Yes.
