Short message era

Letters written with pens used to play an important role in people's lives. However, with the rapid development of science and technology, communication between people has gradually become easier, and letters have gradually withdrawn from people's lives. In the past, I had to go to the post office to send a telegram. Because it is charged by the number of words, in the end, in order to save money, we have to simplify the content. At that time, the telephone was not popular, and there were few families with fixed telephones, so letters were the best way to communicate and transmit information over a long distance.

I wonder how many people still remember that kind of writing paper with big white background and red stripes. After the letter was written, it was stuffed into an envelope and stamped. Stamps have different denominations, and the price depends on the distance of the sending place. Without glue, rice grains have become a tool for sticking stamps. However, with the advent of pagers and mobile phones, letters are no longer the only channel for communication between the two places. With the passage of time, people have many choices of various contact methods, even the elderly are equipped with mobile phones, not to mention the chat tools, voice and email used by the younger generation to surf the Internet.

With the development of smart phones, various applications, such as WeChat and even simple short messages, have completely separated letters from people's lives. The rapid development of science and technology has brought convenient communication, and also made communication barriers begin to appear in reality. Many people are addicted to high technology. Every day's party is no longer free to talk and laugh, but to sit down, play with their mobile phones to brush Weibo, or chat with QQ clients. There is less positive communication, and the virtual world seems to have become people's life.

Writing letters without a pen is now advocated for paperless office. Many people dance on the keyboard, but occasionally when they need to write something, they are full of typos. While relying on high technology, people are increasingly ignoring the real culture. Sporadic and fragmented information is constantly flooding people's brains. Many people are used to using technology, and their brain logic degenerates. Even if they simply need to write some words, they become powerless. Letters are tools for exchanging thoughts, feelings and life when you don't meet people at first. But now we might as well ask ourselves, letters have been replaced, and are we closer to people? No, no, it's farther.

Perhaps, we all made pen pals in that period of youth, secretly wrote down our lives in class, just to send them out, and received a paper greeting from each other about ten days and a half later. Perhaps, we all have a crush on the girl in the next class, wrote an anonymous letter, stuffed it into her desk, and then quietly watched her reaction after reading the letter. People have forgotten their initial feelings and expressed their feelings on paper word by word. People have forgotten that letters have their own formats, and even forget that there are many simple letters in life. Letters can be replaced, or have been replaced. Because modern people don't need such a primitive way in the torrent of technology. However, with the progress of science and technology, people are full of typos, which is the sorrow of mankind.
