Previously, people resorted to the services of messengers, used carrier pigeons, then wrote and sent each other handwritten or printed letters in envelopes. With the advent of the Internet, things have become much easier. Now emails are instantly delivered to the addressee. Why do people need letters?
With the help of letters, people have long shared information with each other. It was customary to write paper messages to relatives living in other cities and countries on a regular basis. Loving couples who were separated expressed their love and affection through letters. Wartime letters played an important role. Communication with loved ones helped the soldiers and generals to overcome all the hardships associated with the conduct of battles. Now the process of sending and receiving messages has become instantaneous. Paper letters sent by mail have ceased to be popular. People keep in touch with loved ones by e-mail, through virtual communication programs. For communication, SMS messages, social networks, various forums are successfully used. People write letters and messages to relatives, loved ones and friends when they want to share some important news, convey their thoughts and emotions, congratulate on a holiday or a significant date. New messages should be written as often as possible to those who are dear to you. They are a manifestation of your care and love, a gesture of attention. A letter from a person who is not indifferent will always bring joy to the addressee, and old emails and messages are pleasant to re-read in moments of nostalgia. However, letters not only allow people who are far from each other to keep in touch. Also from them we learn the history of the period in which each specific letter was written. Thus, the messages are also important historical artifacts that indicate the main trends in the life of society. Currently, with the help of letters, various state bodies, for example, courts, tax inspections, traffic police, convey some important information to a person. In addition, representatives of legal entities write letters to each other. They discuss pressing business issues.
