Do you still write and mail letters to people?

I used to exchange weekly letters with a couple of friends in different states. One was a special pen pal, and another a friend who moved away. Since getting the internet, I have stopped writing letters. Unfortunately, I lost almost all contact with these two friends and I really do miss the letter writing. It was nice having that bit of expectation as I waited to get a letter from one or the other of them. And it was a highlight of the day to read and respond to that letter. Our letters were very special. The internet has contributed to that loss of contact. On the other hand, it makes staying in touch with people a lot easier and faster....if they have the internet too. But has it made that contact less special? I don't know the answer to that. Time may tell. The last time I remember writing a real letter on paper and mailing it was a couple of years ago. The person I sent that letter to is dead now. He was a friend since high school and will be missed. He didn't have the internet, I didn't have a phone at the time, and he couldn't call long distance. The letter was the only means of contact.

Hey mrghill, I don't remember when I last wrote a formal
letter to someone, but I just wrote a letter to my Mom
tonight. I actually wrote it by hand instead of typing
it which I usually do. I needed a break from typing
because I have been typing for awhile on mylot. It
is true though I usually email or type a note to
fax or type a note if it needs to go by snail mail.
Mom doesn't have a computer so for her everything has
to go snail mail.

I only write official letters that to in the computer and take print out and give it to banks etc. Personal letters- I forgot long ago. I cannot remember when I had last send a personal letter hand written. I have mail ID's of my friends and I mail them or talk to them over phone.

the only thing i really mail to people anymore are birthday cards if they live too far away to give them in person. i never write letters anymore. if i have your email address that is how i really prefer to keep in touch. with prices so high and the economy in a downward slump i am not even buying christmas cards and stamps to send them this year. i have to cut back everywhere i can because of gas prices and my husband's business being so slow.

i don't usually write mail this days, because i can send e-mail very quickly, so i nearly stopped writing letter

Well I mostly use email these days but a major hobby of mine was snail mail which was cooler than email from time to time got postcards, teas, pretty rocks, money from other countries, etc

The generation today doesn't write letters to each other already because of the internet and cellphones. They usually call them or just email or chat with them. It's easier and more convenient than writing a letter and mailing it. In writing a letter and mailing it, you will still pay for the stamp and the letter will be received by the receiver in a few days time. Sometimes it comes in delay. But ift you use email or chat they receive it right away.

The last letter i can remember was written in 2004, when i was still a fresh person in university. To be Honest, I really don't like the email, only the words written by a pen can touch my feelings. but now, we are all so dependent on PC that onbody wants to write a real letter. I think this is a disadvantage of PC technique. Peoper are becoming cooler and cooler. we should always remember the nature of our life - Love. Right?

I've never done that in a long time. I guess it's been almost a decade. I sent a few application letters back then. I guess, I'm going to have to do that soon for my Alertpay account verification. They require their users to send in a valid photo ID and billing statement by snail mail. It's good for some users who don't have a credit and/or debit card since Paypal, on the other hand, requires any of those cards. The only thing that worries me is the security of the information while the envelope containing those documents is being transported.

I almost dont remember it! that was long ago maybe 2002.Now it all easy to have internet,you can send email throught to your friends and they get it as they open there emails.I like the system today,You dont need to go out to send emails.You just need to sat down in the computer then write in the yahoomail it really simply and easy now.
