Is the art of letter writing fading?

We live in a world of growing technology.  We can send messages in a blink of an eye.  No matter what side of the world we live, we can communicate in an instant.

What a wonderful invention technology is.

However do people write letters anymore?

The art of letter writing is fading.  Our children are missing out on such a wonderful legacy.

Are they failing to learn how to spell properly with the existence of auto-spell checking functions?

Do you remember how lovely it was to receive a hand written letter in the mail?  Many people would still be holding onto old shoe boxes full of lovely written notes tied with ribbons.  I know I do.   Reminisce about letter writing with me.
