In a fast-paced world, email has become one of the most convenient form of communication replacing conventional postal delivery services or what is now referred to as “snail-mail.” Email or electronic mail is fast and cheaper. You can send a dozen emails to friends or relatives with just a few clicks. Today’s email even carries electronic post cards that have attractive animated GIFs. Email wins hands down on practicality and convenience.



Yet email doesn’t have the kind of fuzzy, warm, tangible feel that conventional postal letters have. You can compile old letters in scrap books and they can serve as cherished memories from love ones, especially special love letters.. Greeting cards from “snail mail” are more personal and emotionally evocative compared to those flashes on your computer screen. You can even save precious moments by placing letters and post cards in shoe boxes ready to be opened and reread during those nostalgic moments..



What do you think? Can email, with all its practicality, replace the sentimentality of the inconvenient postal letter?
