1864<\/p>\n
Back in the days, if you were sent off to boarding school, you’d have no other means of communications with your friends and family other than through writing. So the written word was something treasured. You’d write to your mother, knowing she would read the letter out loud to the rest of your family. You’d write to a lover knowing he’d be the only one to read it.
\nIf you weren’t able to write, you’d know this would cause tremendous stress to the rest of your family and would apologize for having taken so much time to reply, blaming a busy time in school or the bad weather that had prevented the mailman to come by.<\/p>\n

So if like, you end up getting a summer job, how on earth are you supposed to update your Facebook status (your parents refused to get you an iPhone, grumble) and let *everyone* know what a hunk the stock guy is? You’ll simply have to try to text it to them. You’ll send a nice email to your mom once in a while so she knows you’re ok, but your friends have to know *everything*! You’d have to set your Jaiku<\/a> status at busy though, so they don’t try texting you too often while you work. And you’ll write a blog post apologizing about not having written very often this summer.<\/p>\n Me:<\/p>\n Ok, I have my inbox managment skills down, just 20ish and they are the ones I need to adress anyway. Argh, too many invites to Facebook, who are these people anyway? What’s Facebook for, I don’t get it. Shit I feel old now. Ok let’s Twitter something interesting today. Must keep up. Argh. Ah crap, I’ll just write a blog post. Damn phone out of credit again. I’ll have to get some this week at some point. Thank god noone ever calls me. Shit Matt tried to call me twice while the battery was dead. Argh. I should get a better phone one day. One day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1864 Back in the days, if you were sent off to boarding school, you’d have no other means of communications with your friends and family other than through writing.
