The following is from techcrunch:

The long term answer to all of this [unanswered emails] isn’t that people need to try harder to respond to communication requests. The long term answer is that someone needs to create a new technology that allows us to enjoy our life but not miss important messages. If I knew what that solution was, I’d quit this blog and go do it. Someone out there, though, has the beginning of an idea on how we can better manage our electronic communications. And he or she may someday turn that into a product and save us. 2,433 unread emails is an opportunity for an entrepreneur

Techcrunch is probably talking about a technology to sort email messages and point me to the most urgent ones, which assumes that the technology — or machine — understands and actually reads your emails. Probably, it’s going to be a variation of the spam filter or a sort like that, probably based on the reader habit and stuff. Isn’t google gmail doing that, for other purpose of shooting advertisements based on the content of the email and the user habit? Apparently, evolution is a better approach than revolution, especially in cases like this.
