Has telephone and email made communication less personal

Has telephone and email made communication less personal?
Some people argue as if it is a general truth that some modern
instruments such as telephones and email have made
communication between people less personal.
Superficially, it seems to be a sound saying, however, I do not think
this view can hold water. A close inspection of these arguments
would reveal how flimsy they are. There are numerous reasons why
this is so, and I would explore only a few of most important ones
here.
The undeniable deficiency in this remark is that it is negligent of the
bare fact that telephone can cut the distance between two cities
short. For instance, there is a couple who have to be separate just
because of their works or some other reasons. They cannot meet
everyday, but they could share the happiness or sadness with each
other by making a call. Obviously, telephones could strengthen their
love no matter where they are, and no matter what difficulty they
met. Just calling, everything will do better.
Also, it is arbitrary to judge that the view I argued is correct
according only to the excuse I mentioned in the above paragraph.
As everybody know, it takes at least one day to deliver the letters
from one area to another area through post office. Sometimes, we
need to let the letter reach the goal region as soon as possible. In
this case, email plays a important role when considering the
efficiency. Just in one or two second after you clicking the button,
the message will fly to the destination. It is no difficult to see which
one is more convenient.
I would probably not be too kindly disposed to the idea that writing
letter is not important. Nobody can deny that writing letter is a
traditional method to communicate the feeling from one person to
another. On the paper, the receiver is able to touch the handwriting,
it cannot be instead of email. There is another advantage of letter. It

is more available to get a pen and a piece of paper, no matter
whether there is an electrical power.
While it is true that the argument I disagree hold a little bit of


water, I think that telephones and email can contribute more
beneficial things to the communication between people,
especially those who have a long distance from others. Given all
the factors I outlined, in my opinion, I will always live in the
same world as those who oppose to the title.
