how do elders find this transition from letter writing to emails
Answers
Explanation:
Does the same letter writing etiquette apply to emails as to regular letters? ... PS: if we are thinking of writing a letter to elderly people or senior citizens it's best to send a handwritten letter!
Answer:
Email. We use it daily, check it regularly – some people check it obsessively. On a computer, on a smartphone like a BlackBerry or iPhone, it’s one of the main ways we communicate with other people.
Now computers are so prevalent we use them to send documents, music, even pictures and videos, all attached to a short email note. Where we once wrote letters, now we drop people an email.
It takes a while to write a letter. You sit down with a blank sheet of paper and pour out your news – usually several weeks’ worth (if it’s a personal rather than a business letter, of course) since the last letter.
Letter writing is an art, sometimes boring, sometimes exciting, but full of detail. For several centuries it was the main way people stayed in touch, especially those who’d moved elsewhere, whether to other parts of the country or abroad.
