Hand Written

What happened to the hand written letter.  Besides speaking with someone in person, I feel like hand written letters are the most sincere way to communicate.  In this digital age our communication with each other has become very superficial.  Facebook, myspace, AIM, text messaging and even cell phones are all impersonal ways to communicate.  People sit on Facebook all day looking at other people's pictures, writing on their wall, and waiting for people to write to them.  Its pretty pathetic the way we waste our time creeping on others information and waiting for someone to write to you in order to feel better about yourself.  I say we because I am just as guilty as every other college student.  All people care about anymore is drama and what is the next party planned.  The further i go through college the less I wanna hear about people drinking at a bar and who they went home with.  Writing someone a letter or a thank you note is not common anymore, but I feel like it is a very personal way to communicate.  If someone types me a long letter versus hand writing it, I am far more likely to feel a personal relationship with that person.  By typing it you are using a machine.  Our culture has become dependent on digital communication and I feel like we have lost some of the personal aspects of a relationship because of it.... as I type this out:)
