I used to buy charts, spend hours and hours by drawing and colouring, produce greeting cards out of them and then gift loved ones for birthdays and new year.
Now I wish them by posting on FB or by ringing them up.
I used to get inland letters from dad, write down to my heart’s content and post them to my brother, friends and more.
Now I just drop a mail with whatever I want to say.
I used to wait for the postman to deliver letters for me or look at the mail box at college hostel earnestly each time I pass by with the prospect of receiving a letter from someone near.
Now I just check my Inbox periodically.
I used to write down my favourite quotes in diaries (the ones I wait with so much of enthusiasm to get every year from my father).
Now I just bookmark them or note them in a draft or a temp file
I used to track every little expense I make, make calculations of amounts to be split among friends, draw charts and graphs occassionally, calculate figures for the month etc, at the back of the diary.
Now I use a calculator in PC to make some quick calculations
I used to use slam books, diaries to have my friends share their feelings, likes and dislikes, birthday and contact details and all.
Now everything is done over a couple of emails and websites
The technology over time has definitely made jobs faster, easier, convenient and lot more but the joy of holding a pen and paper, the pleasure of jotting down, the job of treasuring them in stacks, the excitement of re-reading them is irreplacable!
