I am too. I must admit that l haven't written letters for quite awhile - blame it on advanced technology. We have come such a long way, from inkwells and pens with nibs.

@Kandae11 Each kid’s camp doesn’t allow electronics, so I write my summers away and get happy to receive letters from them. And you’re right about them affecting our health

I am too . It is good that you wrote to your grandkids. Smart phones, laptops, etc are important, but as much as we can cut back on looking at those screens it would benefit our health.

Gosh. It has been AGES. Even the last ones I wrote were not hand written but typed on the computer and printed. I guess I don't feel the need to do it anymore with texts and Facebook and instant messaging and email. Writing a letter might feel barbaric to me. lol

I never liked writing a letter to anyone. I wrote my last letter to my best friend when I was in the hostel. No doubt these days there is no trend of writing a letter, people write a message over the phone to communicate.

Back in the good old days I used to love writing letters. Now I haven't hand-written more than a few birthday or anniversary cards here and there and my penmanship has gotten horrible. But I do love pens and I have plenty of notecards and paper on hand. I remember the days when I would be thrilled getting a box of fancy stationary. I'm right handed

Most letters I write and send these days are of the complaint about a company's service variety. I think with social media available people feel these methods are sufficient enough to communicate with others. Even receiving a birthday or other card with a personal note has been replaced by a text message & photo. No stamps.

Sign of our changing times. Right-handed. Guess I'm obsolete, I still send cards for special occasions.

I haven't penned a handwritten letter in at least 20 years! I don't have good control of my writing hand (right) anymore, and it makes it hard to write legibly. As far as being safer from prying eyes, I'm going to go with handwritten letter being more private.
