Before the time of email, text messages, internet, instant messaging, cell phone and even the telephone, most people received their messages via the postal service whose slogan was "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds".
How did we survive without all of these forms of communication? What did we do before cell phones became mainstream. My sons will never know what it is like to set up alternative times to meet their friends at Disneyland in case they miss each other. In fact, they don't seem to realize that phones could be plugged in to the wall and that you could walk just a few feet away while talking on them.
Today, people have different preferred methods of communication. Some people prefer to be emailed on their Iphones, others love text messaging, some only want you to leave a message on their answering machine if they don't answer their home phone.
For years, I didn't text, though my sister loved it, but then I began to find that many of my clients just a few years younger than me prefer this method of communication. They text at blinding speed (and this from a person who types over 90 words a minute on a keyboard) and find it very effective.
My little sister tells all of her clients and colleagues that the best way to reach her is by text, not by calling her cell phone.
But, for all of the modern methods we have these days, how many people really enjoy getting a hand written note in the mail. Doesn't it feel a little more personal than a text message? Isn't it a nice surprise to receive something special in the mail? For all that we are more connected, is it less personal?
What is your preferred method of communication.
