Handwriting Notes

from the how-quaint dept

In this age of email does anyone actually write handwritten letters these days? Apparently some people do, and this article is encouraging folks to at least give it a try - even if you have to type it first to get the ideas out.

    No Subject Given

    by ScooterBoy

    i personally love a good handwritten letter.. it's weird, i actually tend to communicate more with my friends that don't have email access -- when you have lightning fast email, conversations tend to be short, usually degenerating into some form of a mass joke forward list. not that i don't like getting movies of animals in various states of embarrasment.

      I have no problem with handwritten notes, I just don't think I would have the time to deal with writing them... I have a few very close friends who don't use email much - if at all (and, yes, I'm still friends with them) and I instead use the long distance telephone system to keep those friendships going (not even dialpad). But, I have found that you can have serious discussions over email (or instant messaging software as well).
