Ten things our kids will never worry about because of the information revolution.

I bemoan this one the most.


9) Sending letters.
Some folks bemoan the lost art of letter writing, but it’s as dead as the dodo. Email and instant messaging largely displaced it long ago, and social networks are finishing the job. While it is easy for some old-timers to get nostalgic about the decline of hand-written letters, the upside is that new communications and social media technologies have made it easier than ever for us to stay in close and continuous contact with friends and family.
