Just in my own personal life, I do e-mail now more often than hand writing letters. I do still send many cards and hand written letters, but not near as many as before. However I am ordering loads of items from online instead of shopping at stores, and much of what I buy is now shipped to me via the postal service. I also have sold many many things on ebay and shipped via the US postal service. So really although technology has changed how frequently I write small notes, it has increased dramatically the number of packages I send and receive. I pay some of my bills online, but many I prefer to write out the check and put a stamp on. I don’t know why. I just do.
