I am realized this as I was writing a post last week. For one month I have been writing this blog. Around 100 people have seen it. It cost me nothing, and took very little time. <\/p>\n<p \/>&nbsp;Contrast that to communication the last couple of centuries. I don&#8217;t know how long it would take to write 100 four page letters. Not to mention the cost. I love how two of the leading blogging platforms pay homage to Gutenberg with names like WordPress and Movable Type. The ease and speed at which we communicate is incredible. If I know someone&#8217;s contact info I can basically contact them instantly. <\/p>\n<p \/>&nbsp;That also leads to a problem. Getting a letter from someone is entirely different than receiving an email or a text message. A letter is very personal. We see their handwriting on the address and can see their pen strokes. It seems that communicate moves so fast today we don&#8217;t take the time to be personal. If I want to invite my friends to a party I just send out a mass invite on facebook. <\/p>\n<p \/>&nbsp;The funny thing is that while I love getting letters, I don&#8217;t take the time to actually write them. Now if you&#8217;ll excuse me, I am meeting up with a friend today. After a couple of text messages and a phone call we have it all worked out. I wonder what Gutenberg would think.<\/p>\n<p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'><a href=\"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/press1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Press\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/press1.gif?w=247\" width=\"413\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/declaration1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Declaration\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/declaration1.jpg?w=252\" width=\"421\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/letter1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Letter\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/letter1.jpg?w=248\" width=\"414\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology is amazing.
