Recently my use of writing has been limited. Taking the summer off school reduced my use of email and increased the use of a cell phone. This is very different from being a child and only having the ability to sit down and write out a letter and mail it to people who I couldn’t sit on the phone with all day. I think I use my cell phone by far the most to write. It’s so easy to shoot a text rather than draft out a letter and mail it, or even pick up a phone and call someone. I would say for sure that I do avoid the use of using a pencil and paper (outside of work). The quickness of texting has made it easier to stay in touch and a lot faster…this way you don’t have to wait for over a week to hear back on what someone is up for for the rest of the summer.
