Has telephone and email made communication less personal? Some people argue as if it is a general truth that some modern instruments such as telephones and email have made communication between people less personal Superficially, it seems to be a sound saying, however, I not think this view can hold water A close inspection of these arguments would reveal how flimsy they are There are numerous reasons why this is so, and I would explore only a few of most important ones here The undeniable deficiency in this remark is that it is negligent of the bare fact that telephone can cut the distance between two cities short For instance, there is a couple who have to be separate just because of their works or some other reasons They cannot meet everyday, but they could share the happiness or sadness with each other by making a call Obviously, telephones could strengthen their love no matter where they are, and no matter what difficulty they met Just calling, everything will better Also, it is arbitrary to judge that the view I argued is correct according only to the excuse I mentioned in the above paragraph As everybody know, it takes at least one day to deliver the letters from one area to another area through post office Sometimes, we need to let the letter reach the goal region as soon as possible In this case, email plays a important role when considering the efficiency Just in one or two second after you clicking the button, the message will fly to the destination It is no difficult to see which one is more convenient I would probably not be too kindly disposed to the idea that writing letter is not important Nobody can deny that writing letter is a traditional method to communicate the feeling from one person to another On the paper, the receiver is able to touch the handwriting, it cannot be instead of email There is another advantage of letter It is more available to get a pen and a piece of paper, no matter whether there is an electrical power While it is true that the argument I disagree hold a little bit of water, I think that telephones and email can contribute more beneficial things to the communication between people, especially those who have a long distance from others Given all the factors I outlined, in my opinion, I will always live in the same world as those who oppose to the title
