Dead Art?

Just like books and notebooks, the art of letter writing cannot really die. It may go into a coma for a while, but it cannot really die. Sure, many people use the e-mails, IMs, text messages, and all things involved with technology. But yet, there are still some people fighting to hold onto the good old days of the world’s growing past. All accounts written on paper cannot really die anyway. People copy them to computer, but they always keep the original safe from the elements of time. In fact, a growing number of people pre and post-baby boom generation are rising up to breathe new life in the art of letter-writing. It can be seen as restoration to some.

There is heavy value for writing anything down on paper. Whether it is a quick little note or a five page long letter, people cannot survive without pencil or paper. It just cannot be done. Some people write a letter by hand as a draft before typing it. Writing letters by hand can also be a good way to write to someone when one does not manage to find any form of technology on the spot. Plus, the elderly live it when their kids write them a letter by hand. It gives them a feeling that the kids wrote it from the bottom of their hearts. So yes, it is important for both technology and hand-written letters and notes to live side-by-side of each other. Otherwise neither one cannot survive without the other.
