Letters and Diaries from the Yesteryear


Reading the letters of John Keats and Andy Warhol's diary entries, I can't help but to realize how technology have evolved from handwriting on papers to typing on the keyboard of the computer or mobile devices. Writing a letter would be similar to sending an e-mail while diaries are akin to blogs, Facebook or even Twitter.

The world we live in is getting more advanced, and we want faster replies. Sending a mail would take a longer time than an e-mail with just a click away. Talking about daily activities now can be done in front of the computer or on the smartphone easily and people can even comment on our entries on the spot. Change is good, but future generations would miss out a lot too.
