Same features but better

One of the great features of writing has been that people could send their feelings or events to others. Presence with others wasn't mandatory.  The note in writing would allow people to remain in one place and have a representation of themselves in another place.  Another feature of writing was that people could save what they themselves had written and others could save what was sent to them to hold and cherish.


The following commercial by Samsung shows that these two features of sending a representation and storing for oneself or others is visual now and faster, easier, and more efficient.than writing could ever be.  When a person sees this commercial, one can very easily understand why this way of communication supersedes everything writing has to offer.  The tone, the gestures, the feeling, the background, and the appearance of the person and message are not left out or detached.  It's ALL there.  No one misses a lick on the sending end or the receiving end.

It's only two years away from 2017.  There is no doubt that the 10 year period from 2007 to 2017 featured a war between those who wanted writing to stay and those who have barraged the present with technology to move society forward.  Goodbye to writing... a new age has been ushered in.
