Everyone has a telephone,right? We are supposed to be more connected now than ever, but it seems to me that people don't want to actually talk anymore. We text, email, Tweet, write on Facebook walls, instant message, and blog without ever speaking a word out loud. I personally would rather talk to you. I like the personal interaction rather than trying to read what your feeling through your written words. I'm not saying that all of the written forms are bad, I just think we need a balance. It's funny to me that with so many of these social media tools taking off, we are forgetting about the personal connection you find in someone's voice. I'm just saying...
What's Happened to Talking?

I so much agree with you Melissa. I have been feeling the same way about this as well. To go a step further, we don't use paper and pen and sit down for a moment and write a letter to someone. Emails are quick but so impersonal. I still like that personal touch to a hand written letter. Are there still letter writers and talkers out there!!!
Glyniel, thank you for your comment, I completely agree. I love to write and receive a hand written note.
