I don't think that it is as personal. Plus, you can't save it in a box for your grandchildren to read. I love pulling out my old cards!

When E cards were a new thing, and, for people new to cyberspace, they might be considered just as meaningful as a paper greeting.
Once the newness has worn off, no adult will consider an e card with the same esteem as a traditional card. Like most forms of personal communication, the less personal the contact the less meaningful its perception. While email is quick and convenient, it carries less impact than a real letter. Continur the logic and you can see that even a letter is less personal than a face to face visit.

am i able to factor out in simple terms how incorrect that total theory is. Jesus themed Valentines playing cards. Oh my goodness! you've were given to be pulling my leg accurate? Valentines Day is a Pagan vacation and Yahshua has not something to do with it! i'd imagine someone who become worried about Harry Potter will be extra worried about an afternoon which honors a pagan deity.. What a hypocrite! Repent! the dominion of God is hand!

I don't think so. Given the amount of time people spend in front of the computer screen these days, surfing to a website because you're bored and sending an e-card just doesn't take the same amount of time, thought, caring, etc., as going to a store and picking out a card by hand.

I think it depends. Nowadays, I have several internet buddies with whom I communicate online often but don't necessarily know their personal information. E-Cards are very acceptable in that case. I also don't mind getting an E-Card from someone who lives in another country in lieu of a paper card. There is also the issue of natural resources.
Paper cards are still the most personal way of communicating, in my opinion. And a few occasions most definately warrant a "real" card - Weddings, Funerals, Religious events (baptisms, first communions, etc), major "once in a lifetime" events, etc. And I still like getting Christmas cards cuz they end up as part of my decorating!
I personally don't mind getting an E-Card - above examples excluded - as I never was one to save a ton of cards. Except love notes from my other half - nothing makes me happier than seeing "I love you" in his handwriting.

I think they are better. I like to check my email once in a while and get a surprise. That way, I can have a happy birthday, several times a day, not just when I get home and check the mailbox! Also, I don't like to keep cards. There are just too many of them, and it seems to be a waste of money and paper.

no. sending an e-card says you care, just not that much. unless you send it to a lonely person, then they have to thank you. thats why i think all card are tools of the devil.

It lacks the human touch.

yes, i think it does. there's not as much effort thrown into it, but it still means they love you, they took time out to get you one, and they didn't forget. so either way i smile and say thank you! :)
