            It's always nice to go back and look at old love letters, but will it be just as nice when you look back at old love emails? Letter writing has declined greatly as a form of communication in recent years. People no longer take time to sit down and write to family members and friends. Letter writing was one of the few ways to communicate over long distances for centuries. Since the invention of the telephone and the Internet, people have turned to more practical ways of communication. Also the speed of society has changed to where society wants to know everything the moment it happens. If you look in your mailbox, most likely you will not find a personal letter. People have started to use other forms of communication. .
             The telephone is one form of communication that almost everyone uses to speak with friends, family members, and business associates. Information travels faster today than ever before. People use the telephone over letter writing because it is more efficient. With the telephone it is possible to transfer ideas and feelings quicker and receive a response to them faster than if a letter was written to the person. People also do not always have time to write a letter, and so it is easier to pickup the telephone and call whoever they need to communicate with. A telephone call can be made from anywhere at any time. A letter cannot be written at any time, and especially when a reply is needed right away. Another advantage the telephone has over letters is the fact that a person can hear who they are speaking to adding a more personal touch. .
             Another form of communication has almost overcome even the telephone, as the most used way to communicate, is the Internet. In recent years people have logged on to the Internet to talk to friends and family. I know that I have been using such services as AOL instant messenger, and Yahoo instant messenger. "You can engage in near real-time conversations without ever having to meet the person you're flirting with.
