“To write is human, to receive a
letter
: Devine!” – Susan Lendroth These days, technology and devices have completely changed our communication methods. Some people consider it revolutionary, while others project
this
 idea to be “very impersonal” which makes our relationship less personal. No doubt, with the world-spread of
cellphones
Suggestion
cell phones
, computers and laptops the correspondence became much more comfortable and it is hard to imagine a different world. In my opinion, the skill of writing-letters are beneficial for developing strong interpersonal relationships.
However
, the handwritten -
letter
 is important in authoritative and official documents,
such
 as an academic examination.
Moreover
, receiving a handwritten-
letter
 has a different impact on us than an email or text message. Automatically, our brain generates a feeling of appreciation and gratitude for the sender. It shows interest from that person to spend time thinking of us and lay down their thoughts and feelings, which we consider more honest than send it via internet. A handwritten -
letter
 is a treasure with an immense value.
For example
, Churchill’s
letter
 of thank you, dated in 1906 is now valuated between £1000 and £1500. I still keep personal handwritten-letters from my family, hopefully when I became famous will be sold at similar prices
