Plus...I don't know ANYONE who would rather not receive a hand-written note of love, congratulation, sympathy or just a simple greeting saying, "I'm thinking of you.." than an e-mail, e-card, or a (shudder) text! Real notes and cards can be held in your hands and cherished. My long-gone grandma's notes to me are precious; they even carry the scent of her perfume, the comics she cut out to share with me, the photos & rose petals. No e-mail can EVER replace her lovely hand-written letters.
In 20 years this may become a moot point- at least for young people. American school districts are discussing dropping the requirement that kids learn cursive handwriting. They say it is becoming obsolete because of all the keyboarding devices- pc's, tablets, i-phones etc. Personally, I think it would be a huge mistake! We all have calculators now, but we still insist that kids learn basic mathematics. Cursive writing stimulates creative parts of the mind and is important for self expression.

OMG, just got a letter from my Senator and his L was a match with the violent paranoid. Unfortunately, this doesn't surprise me in the least.
