The Written Word

The Written Word
Saturday Self-Challenge: Anything that has been rendered obsolete but still being used everyday by people everywhere.

In this day of electronic books and texting, many people thought letters and books with pages would be a thing of the past. But modern technology can never replace the personal touch of pen and paper or the tactile feel of a good book in the hands. I still can read love letters written to my mother by my father over 64 years ago and see the writing that flowed from his hand. Texting has no such personal touch.

Have great weekend, everyone! Hugs to Pam and Marie-claire xx

I so agree with you, Val! I can't speak about electronic books and texting, because I don't do either, but I wouldn't want to. There's nothing like curling up with a good book on a chilly winter night with a cup of hot chocolate by your side. A palm pilot or whatever they're called just can't equal it.

True, but it's still hard to say how it's going to develop. I still read paper books and newspapers a lot.

Oh you are so right, Val. I really love to feel the pages of a good book in my hand. I read every day when I go to bed. It's so much better than a computer. It makes my eyes tired too!!!! As for writing - I used to love receiving letters and I can still look at them which I wouldn't be able to do with texting.

Hi Val,

Very nice picture! Do you remember the pens we used to have in school, the ones you had to dip in the inkwell every few letters.....

No, I don't have one any more, but I do still have my school book of log tables, and my slide rule..
Kids today wouldn't know either!!

Best Wishes
Peter
