Garrison Keillor read several of my poems on 'The Writer's Almanac' and I've heard from listeners nationally and internationally. That's one of the great gifts of email.
Saving a letter from an old friend doesn't exist anymore. Everything is texted or emailed.
E-mail also changed things in that you don't have to write a full document to discuss something. You can just send an e-mail to a list.
It's amazing how email has changed our lives. You ever get a handwritten letter in the mail today? 'What the? Has someone been kidnapped?'
Letters had always defeated distance, but with the coming of e-mail, time seemed to be vanquished as well.
Email has explosively supported the growth of letter writing globally.
Sadly, e-mail has triggered the decline of the handwritten note; I have seen its near-disappearance in my lifetime.
The ability to write compelling emails may be the single most useful talent an organizer can possess.
As I often lecture businesses, it is not the email you send which matters, but how people feel when they read it.
