As the world has been growing and technology has been developing day by day , some valuable feelings have been getting lost. Such activities as talking to each other, visiting old parents or writing emotional letters were very prevalent in almost every person’ life. Nevertheless, today it is hard to see these habits because people’s attitude has changed. But there are a few people trying to return to the old days when people were writing letters. But why do they try to do it instead of using technology?
These people think letters have many powerful influences on people’s feelings. People who were far away from their parents or lovers wrote letters because it was the only way to expose their emotions or hear the news. There was paper and pen; that was all they could have. Writing was endless, because they could write many words and sentences, which are now limited to only 140 characters in the social media.
The media has been developing itself but destroying the cultural connection between people. Today, almost every person is using Facebook or Twitter just to write some words that do not make sense, when someone reads them. People are writing wrong words and punctuation that shows us the knowledge of writing and reading their native languages has been decreasing. In fact, most of them are not able to express their feelings. Their walls are full of pictures and nonsense headlines which do not wake the connections with people. Moreover people have forgotten to talk; even saying ‘hello’ is very hard because they know if they say it, a conversation starts and they must not spend their time on a stupid conversation instead of their phones.
There is no need for people to write long sentences because they are old and odd, they think. In this century, people must be in step with technology. Writing letters is considered just as an old popular hobby which old people used a long time ago.
To sum up, people have forgetten the importance of letter writing because of the speed of technology. Touching a pen and paper does not mean anything to them because they all do their work on a screen which is always in their pockets. If we think why people are getting angrier today than before and why the happiest couples are divorcing, we can see the monster of this century is destroying every good connection between people.. In a person’s life, just writing one or two letters may change thoughts and feelings about people and the world.
