Then: Snail mail was a primary source of communication then, as opposed to today, where it is the primary source of junk mail. I remember having pen pals in elementary school and being incredibly excited about writing letters and buying stamps. While there’s something very romantic about the idea of snail mail, it’s called snail mail for a reason-it’s slow and ultimately, inconvenient. ‘’I once had to write an essay about how snail mail was such an important thing for people to just communicate,’’ Louza Yamin said.
Now: Today, we use literally anything else but snail mail to communicate with each other. Whether it’s email, text, video chat, fax or instant messaging, we have an arsenal of technologies that allow us to contact each other without having to find a mailbox. Technology has successfully shortened communication from several days to mere minutes. ‘’I’m so happy we don’t have to communicate using snail mail, I can call people with just a click of a button,’’ Louza Yamin said.
Many people like technology today because back then people had no electronic devices, they would use snail mails they couldn’t have internet or phones, they would write letters to each other, but today we have internet and we have devices people would email each other and they would talk to each other on the phone all day.
