Have e-mail and chat rooms completely done away with writing letters?

Honestly, I haven't sat down and written an actual handwritten letter since I was a child - I was writing to Santa Claus.
I think that the Internet has definitely made changes in the way we communicate - but they're not necessarily a bad thing. What's important is that we stay in touch, not whether it's hand writing or typing or via phone.

A couple weeks ago or so. That is how I keep in touch with an old school buddy of mine. I received her letter back last week. I love getting a letter in the mail. I mail out Christmas cards every year and very seldom do I ever get one back. Just so everyone knows that is incredibly rude. I don't care how busy you are. That is what Christmas is about, letting people know how much you care. I got a card yesterday from a friend. My only one this year. That is sad. Send cards people. It does make a difference.

Interesting and very refreshing for a man to ask. I love writing letters. Just did about a moth ago. And for the hilodays I am sending a poem that I wrote with a Picture as a Xmas present. I love to travel and like to write about places that I've been. If you wanna write let me know. Future letter friend. MySpace.com-LaWannah

Probably about a month ago. I used to write letters all the time. E-mail has changed things.

Yesterday, I do all of my Christmas cards by hand, but there are a few friends that do not celebrate during the holidays so I send them a nice letter on homemade potporri paper (I am a crafting nut).

I wrote an e-mail about 20 minutes ago, does that count? Honestly, I get more excited over e-mail than I do over real (snail) mail, unless it's my People magazine, then I get very excited.

About 9 months ago I wrote a letter thanking a family who assisted me while I was evacuated due to hurricane Katrina.

Honestly, I don't know the last time I wrote a letter. My wife writes to her family quite often, they live overseas.

I actually do that quite often. I'm not big into emailing or typing by instant message as much as I used to be. Letters are more personal and I prefer that over email anyday.
