Writing a letter isn't something i do on the regular. Every once in awhile I have written a letter to someone but on the daily I used text messaging or email. This is a faster way to connect with someone. Sending a simple text message to let someone know something is easier than writing a letter to them and having to wait for a response letter back. Text messaging and email both takes a few seconds to send and also takes a few seconds to get a reply. Other new media I use to connect with people is social media. If I do not have someones phone number or email I just simply find them on a social media account and where I
can send them a message on there. Just like text messaging and email they are able to respond quickly which makes everything so much easier.
Your comments are very informative to those of us who are "trans-generational" and have lived in both the pre-digital and digital ages. I'd be interested to hear what the conversation would be if you explained this to a grandparent.
