At the post office the other day, I overheard a young man - probably about 18 years old - asking for help with his letter. He was unsure how to address an envelope. He told the nice older gentleman that it was his first letter.
I was stunned. What on earth? Has technology taken so far over our lives that no one sends letters anymore?

I love writing letters and I should do it more often. I own personalized stationary and love sending notes when I think about it, which again should I should more frequently. I miss it and I'm sad to hear that "young" people are no longer sending handwritten letters.
I was slightly appalled to hear that he didn't know how to address an envelope. What?! How is that he doesn't know how to address an envelope? I learned how to do so in school. In second or third grade. I hope that he takes his real world lesson from the kind gentleman to heart and sends another letter soon.
When's the last time you wrote a letter? Do you think that we've lost the art of letter writing?
