We also use WhatsApp.  What I want is choices so that you choose a method of communication to more suit the people that you are communicating with. It was interesting to hear recently that written exams have become more of a problem for a lot of children now because they can't write clearly enough and fast enouugh because there is such a push towards teaching everyone to use a computer (rightly so) and not enough time has been given to handwriting.  Bad handwriting can cost you time and exam points and is stressful for teachers to have to decipher. There is nothing quite like receiving a handwritten personal letter with or without a gift which you can read and re-read again.  Computer inboxes can be bunged up so easily with too many emails and in particularly spam ones or replies/acknowledgements of no consequence which it takes even more time to sort through. £2.80 postage for one Christmas card to Australia is expensive so it really does need to have more than a signature in it to make it a worthwhile communication!  ("Oh, so they're still alive then.")
