Old Fashioned Letter Writing: Do People Write Letters Anymore?

do people write letters anymore

These days, in our world of technology, it is so much quicker to send someone an SMS, email them, and communicate in the blink of an eye. And no matter what side of the world we live, we can chat in an instant.  What a wonderful invention technology is.

But what happened to old fashioned letter writing? You know, the pen and paper variety. 

The art of letter writing is fading.  Our children are missing out on such a wonderful legacy.

Are they failing to learn how to spell properly with the existence of auto-spell checking functions? I have seen so many instances where people just cannot spell, or where the written word is a mish-mash of slang and shortened words.

Do you remember how lovely it was to receive a hand written letter in the mail?  Many people would still be holding onto old shoe boxes full of lovely written notes tied with ribbons.  I know I do.   

There are so many reasons to write letters to people and so many ways you can start again. Why not give it a go. The variety of gorgeous paper on the market is amazing.
