Hand written letters seem to be something of the past. Whenever I get a postcard from my grandmother, I snort in amusement and try to read her messy cursive handwriting before giving up and putting it on the mantle above the fireplace like every other card she's sent me. Now that I type about it, I feel bad for her. She spends all that time carefully writing her feelings out, in pen, no less. What if she makes a mistake? Does she have to go out and buy another postcard? I've never seen a card that had a scratch mark through it.
Hand written letters preserve our education. Sometimes, we refer to computers to do all the work for us, and even help us find more academic words to make us more...impressive sounding. Hand written letters are more heart-felt, and you know the person means what they say when the write it. You can tell what the person is feeling by their handwriting. When reading from a typed letter, there is less emotion felt, especially looking at some Times New Roman font (nothing against the font, it's just less personal because everyone uses it).
So you go, Nana. You preserve your education like you do, girl.
