phones VS letter writing It is a tendency that the use of phone has become more and more widespread. The reason why this universal phenomenon occurs is not only because of the modern high technology but also the rapid speed of dissemination. So is this means that with the help of phone, people can abandon letter writing-the old way of communicating in distance? Some people believe that the occurrence of phone can certainly replace letter writing. With the development of modern society, there will be more and more work which accomplished by machines instead of human hands. Since both phones and handwritten letters can be the tool of communication, why don’t people choose an easier way and make themselves spend their energy on other thing which is more significant? However, there are still a group of people insist that letter writing can not be replaced. According to their point of view, letter writing is a traditional way for friends and relatives to exchange their stories and emotions. For everyone’s handwriting is unique, letters from different person can not be the same. What’s more, handwritten letters can be kept as some souvenirs to memorize someone permanently while phones can only be temporary. Overall, phones and letter writing can not be equal all the time. We can’t deny the convenience which has brought to us by phones, but we can not ignore the role that letters play nowadays either. Communicating through phones is efficient and laboursaving. But when you are surrounded by high technology and information superhighway all the time，you can hardly imagine how much joy and tears being brought to you simply from a handwritten letter.
