Our forefathers love to write, and even during the pre-historic times they have formulated a system of writing in order to communicate what they feel to other tribes or individuals. After the alphabet, came the essays, poems, scripts, and so much more. Long before the telephone was invented by Graham bell, letters were the fastest way to communicate with other people. Letters for our family, friends, co-workers, and even during times of war letters were part of the war machine. However, as time passes by new inventions existed, and slowly communication was even faster than the blink of an eye, we are now on the digital ages, we have the internet, we have smartphones, tablet pads and almost all informations are sent truth digital media. Postal offices have lesser workloads now, and some are now closing their services. But we still have paper to write on, and we still have people to act as messengers, so my friends, regardless of having so much technology on our hands do you still have the eagerness and creativity to write your favorite love letters, send birthday cards and valentines cards to your friends and family? Does that itch of writing these things exist or has faded by your fingers tapping the mouse and keypad Iphones and Ipads?

Yes, writing directly to the print media via. keyboard has become the norm today. People prefer keyboards over pen and even kids start from their younger age tapping with the keyboard and mouse. This has caused an erosion of beautiful handwriting. Handwriting develops only when we write with a pen or paper. Using keyboard and mouse actually harms our handwriting skills. It's very important at least taking notes during a meeting or other such activities can be with a pen or pencil, so that we won't forget how to write.
