lI'm sitting in media, trying to edit a thriller opening I have previously captured, and a friend struggling beside me to make the music on garageband, all this with technological convergence revision in the back of my mind. It's weird how 40years ago letters were received and calls were made - people were happy and content. In ways technology is brilliant; it's faster and easier to send a quick message and share those moments and talents worldwide, but on the other hand I feel people have forgotten the simplicity of past communication, and looking at these methods - how heart-warming it feels to receive them.
I have a penpal, she has just recently posted a paragraph on her site, showing her excitement of receiving my envelope, and I couldn't stop smiling for ages, just because she was so happy of getting it. Thinking back when I first got her letter - I felt the same, it was wrapped in a pretty Cath Kidston patten - polka dots and flowers, and inside she wrote with elegance and humour. This was so much personal then her facebook messages, i got to see her personality flow from the pages.
I wish that just one year, month or day everyone would just post a letter for someone they love, like or just want to speak to. I guarantee it would make everyone a little happier.
