" The days when we sent a letter rather than an e-mail! An e-mail soon is lost, but a letter was special. It was permanent, kept in a drawer, reread many time, and it was sent only after sitting down to write, sealing the envelop, and walking to the mail-box to place it in for mailing, and the letter, we knew, would take days, perhaps several days, to arrive. We put time and energy and perhaps much thought into that letter. Have we lost something? Today we have only life by 'clicks' and little effort and less thought. "
