As I opened the string, a wave of nostalgia hit me, memories spanning a few decades were in my hands. I went through the birthday cards sent by friends and cousins, my parents’ first letter to me once I moved away after marriage, letters exchanged between my husband and me. We also have multiple options to communicate both on one-to-one basis as well as to a larger audience. While this “new-world” technology has provided wondrous ways to communicate, it has, I feel, snatched away from the millennials two wonderful arts — the art of conversation and that of letter-writing. Technology, it seems, has made us lazy as well.
