Intro.1------Technology has made an important room
in the present century and replaced many
traditional geners.In this degitised world where people depend on more
efficient ,speedy and reliable means of communication the importance of age old
ways such as letters has diminised because of which the skill of writing
letters is on the verge of disappearance.
Intro.2------Bolstered by the
recent advancements in technology, our society has gradually departed from the
culture of the printed word to a computer culture structured by the digital
word. Everyday the superior performance of computers appears to render printed
literature more obsolete - e-mail and chat rooms have nearly eliminated
traditional written letters.
There is no doubt
that with the widespread usage of cell phones, pagers, text messages, social
networking websites and Internet calling, letter writing has already become
less popular but I do not agree that it
will ever disappear.
When human civilization learnt different
languages,letters became the initial way of expressing formal and informal thoughts
but with the invention of modern and innovative means of communication like
telephone ,electronic mails and telegraph ,the importance of writing letters
has decreased.These new means have gained an edge ,becauese they made
communication two sided,quick and reliable whereas one has to wait for days or
months for reply through letters and
there are chances of replacements ,the new mean can be secured and saved as
prooof with the sender as well as the receiver. They also save paper as well
.In the hustle and bustle of modern life ,people neither bother to pen down
their emotions in a letter to send to their beloved ones nor they want to do
their formal business by means of letter.
However,emotions play an
important role in healthy relationship which can be felt beautifully if
expressed in letters by our near and dear ones.On the professional front
,writing letters helps one to use the proper words as many modern means use
short forms and help an individual in proficiently in writing formally.Unlike
electronic mails and telephones ,letters can not be hacked or tapped.Also the
confidentiality remains high .Moreover, with coming of speech to text technologies
people are trying to aviod getting engaged in writing so,in this case writing
letters can help them not only to convey their messages clearly but also to
show their creativity in designing alphabets.
To ingeminate ,albeit digital
conversation has gained ground in this
modern world ,but the significance of letter writing will never be abolished as
it helps in measuring an individuals creativity , and in expressing deep most thoughts of heart to others.
