Handwritten letters are becoming a thing of the past, and after this assignment, it makes me\u00a0a little sad.\u00a0I was originally\u00a0worried when\u00a0I heard that I was going to have to hand write a letter because I had no idea who I would write to nor what the letter was going to be about.\u00a0I decided to write to my younger brothers because they are who I miss the most from home.<\/p>\n
Nowadays,\u00a0a reason it is harder to converse with people via mailed letters is because it takes a while for them to receive them. This could be due to long distances, wrong addresses, or a mailing mix up\u00a0and that makes it less dependable than a text message or phone call.\u00a0Technology comes with its\u00a0own set of problems, such as dropped calls, no service, and\u00a0wrong numbers.\u00a0Even with these\u00a0technology cons, its easier to communicate\u00a0because it is much faster.\u00a0By calling\/texting someone you are able to reach them within seconds and when the matter is urgent or time sensitive, that is crucial.<\/p>\n
With all of that being said, a letter is something special because it lasts forever. I still have memorable birthday cards or letters from loved ones because they meant something to me so I kept them.\u00a0 I was able to think about what I really wanted to say so that it would mean something to my brothers. Not having spell check was\u00a0a struggle at times, but knowing that I was writing my brothers a thoughtful letter made the ideas flow. I think this exercise is important for any millennial so that they can be reminded of how important it is to keep handwritten letters around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
