Say Farewell to the Letter and Hello Mr.Twitter...

Keeping in contact with friends and loved ones is important. When someone dear to you relocates for whatever reason, people, pre-Internet would write a letter or call. These two forms of communication were the leading ways to contact anyone. To write a letter now would be considered bizarre (telephones however have maintained their importance, and are still used as much today as day one of their debut in 1876). E-mail, Facebook, blogs, and twitter are just a few of the most popular means of communication today. Many of these tools are great to have access to, and some are just pointless. Although these tools are convenient they lack endearing procedure to actually connecting. To write a letter takes more time than to simply type an e-mail and click send. You notice ones penmanship and types of stationary used for the letter, in addition depending on whom the letter was from and its context you would even save the letter. One normally would not save an e-mail, and if it were saved it would not be long before you needed more space in your inbox thus having to delete the mail. History of our country has been documented for example, letters written by soldiers in war and classic romances from adolescent phases. It was actual paper that was saved; a tangible item. E-mails, and tweets are not tangible and cannot be taken out of a shoebox for nostalgic purposes. Ask yourself this, WHAT WILL WE SAVE? There will be nothing to show our grandchildren, or even keep away in an attic. I suppose its time to officially say farewell to the letter, and hello twitter...
