Joanne Chen stresses the important of handwriting in everyday life and her perspective is that it positively shapes people, and allows creativity. In “Is handwriting extinct” Chen talks about a 2012 study comparing preschoolers who typed and used handwriting. According to Chen “The scan showed that the brains of the kids in the typing group didn’t distinguish between shapes and letters, but those in the handwriting group did.” This study shows that handwriting has an effect on the development on kids’ brains. Chen also mentions that handwriting hand help people with depression and dementia. According to Chen “It’s no surprise, then, that journaling is often used to help those who suffer from depression... or that calligraphy, according…

Also, With this letter form, you get a complete understanding of the main character; Their hopes, dreams, loves, and hates. They feel no need to hide who they are or what they think, because they are writing in a private journal that no one else would see. This is an important aspect in The Color Purple, for the main character has no voice of her own. If it was written in another way, it would've changed the whole story. For example, if it was written in the third person, we would've never gotten the insight of celie's character, but In this form of writing, it shows her most private thoughts,…
This is important because it brought the fronts closer together by informing each party of the conditions experienced by their loved one. As the war progressed, the massive transfer of information regarding location, troop movements, living conditions, and state of morale communicated to the home front made it difficult for army censors to contain information. This is important because it showcases the large scale in which soldiers wrote about crucial details in their deployment against the behest of the censors. Naturally the correspondence of couples like Paul and Marie saw the expression of deep and intimate feelings to their partner because spoken conversations were far and few in between(Hanna, 243-244). This is important because it enabled couples to feel closer to their partner in spite of the large distance that separated them. In the case of Paul and Marie, each of them tried to write a letter each day to keep in as close contact as possible to minimize the misery of separation(Hanna, 29). The letters also inspired hope to the soldiers that received them by reminding them of their loved ones back home…

It is useful for fees letters, opening times, dates, holidays etc. It enables a permanent record to be kept and looked back on.

It is a known fact that communication is the understructure of any successful relationship, both professional and personal. However, the manner in which we communicate determines our connection to others and provides a doorway to express real intent and feelings. There are two ways in which we communicate verbal and nonverbally. Although the two styles of communication seem very different both are supposed to convey the same message.…
I know it by receiving your greeting card” (Inada, 85). To me, I felt like this was important because even know they were miles away from each other they still continued to celebrate life even in the most simplest ways. Their eagerness to remain close to one another in spirit showed greatly through the letters that were sent back and…
Relaying a message or an Idea within moments versus writing letters with the anticipation of waiting days for a response, I must admit that technology has optimized our abilities to communicate with timely ease. Examining this new movement in communicating with technology, I consider it as an altered method of communication versus traditional approaches. However, there are some critics that beg to differ the idea about technology and communication. To some, it is seen as a pathway to the degradation of spoken language as we know it, but I believe it has no impact on spoken language, but an innovative way to communicate without using your vocal chords.…

Communication in a social context tends to be of an unplanned nature and varies depending on the circumstances that we find ourselves in, who we are communicating with and our feelings towards them. If communicating via emails and texts we do so in an informal manner for example using abbreviations, expressing opinions and views. If we were to be communicating in writing on a professional level through letters, emails and texts they tend to be planned, a certain format used to do so and are written in a formal manner, without the use of our personal opinions or views. However, the speed in which respond to communications from others both socially and professionally can affect the way others perceive us. Responding quickly provides the other…

In the Ted talk, Sherry Turkle talks about how with the rise of technology we are experiencing a change in the dynamic of relationships we have with each other. Instead of interacting with one another in group settings, such as classes or meetings, we are on our phone, computer, or tablet. She brings up the topic of being together while not really being together. People are more likely to hide away in their phones than to engage in conversation with one another. Turkle explains the idea that many people have about conversations are that they are too unpredictable. Unlike texting, emailing, or instant messaging we can’t delete or edit what we say since it is in real time. I can vouch for this because for example in an argument where things can get heated very quickly, by texting I can take a time out or delete something that I shouldn’t say. Arguing face to face is much more risky because I can’t take a second to cool off or to figure out the right way to say something.…
