So I spent this afternoon writing a letter to Jade as a contrast to our relationship on facebook. I met Jade at the start of my art foundation year and we have become good friends, spending time together not just in college but out during our own time. I think our friendship was able to grow to this level with the help of facebook, changing our relationship from acquaintances to friends. Will a letter hold the same effect? One of facebook great points is the pace in which you can communicate, replying to comments within seconds. With a letter the wait is obviously longer, can this take away from the meaning of the content? Or will this infact add another dimension to our realtionship, whilst writing the letter it felt much different from say writing a comment, it felt more personal, maybe because it was hand written or maybe because it was much more time consuming.
Since as im not used to sending letters the part where I actually had to send it often slipped my mind, and when I did finally get around to it Jade was too busy to reply. Maybe letters are used less now for a reason? It has to be said technology does make things easier!
