“Phone calls as verbal communication can cause tension in a person of any age - for example, I avoid them at all costs, preferring to communicate through correspondence. In some cases, this causes inconvenience - for example, when you are looking for a job, and the employer leaves a telephone number for contact. Honestly, sometimes I missed some offers because I couldn’t bring myself to call.”
7. The call takes away your freedom of choice.
6. Unreliability of oral negotiations
If someone promised you something over the phone, you will never be able to prove the fact of the promise itself if the person does not fulfill it. And in this case, the preference for correspondence is again evident: any words can be confirmed, because they are written down.
5. Non-urgent matters can wait.
Previous generations were accustomed to discussing even the smallest details over the phone. This is understandable, because telegrams, letters and carrier pigeons took much longer to reach people. But the current generation believes that distracting a person from life with a loud, ill-timed call for the sake of a small question is rude: you can write! After all, the speed of the Internet is still different from the speed of pigeon mail. The recipient will receive the message instantly, and will respond when he has time for such non-urgent matters.
4. Text is the weapon of introverts
If you are an extrovert, you may exclaim in displeasure and vigorously scroll the page to the next point. Introverts will agree that in the text no one can shout down, interrupt or emotionally manipulate you. In the text everyone is equal. In addition, through text you can easily formulate complete thoughts and select suitable phrases, without then reproaching yourself for a whole month for not having the courage, speed or imagination to respond correctly to your opponent.
3. You don’t want to catch your interlocutor in an awkward place
Your phone just rings out when you are driving, in the subway, on a noisy street, in a club, at work or in a company where no one should hear this call - is this a familiar situation? According to the law of the genre, after your incredible efforts in trying to find a quiet place, you will hear on the other end of the line just the news that some Kardashian has given birth to another child.
There are no such inconveniences with messages.
2. In a letter you can do what is difficult to do in a conversation.
The letter is liberating: it is much easier to ask a girl out on a date by writing her a message on a social network, especially if you don’t have the courage in real life. And with the help of a letter, it is easier to ask for forgiveness, reveal your feelings, admit something, or even humiliate a person. Or just write nasty comments.
1. I don’t want to waste time
“Hello, hello, am I distracting you? Are you comfortable talking now? Can you give me some time? Are you even busy right now? I'll just be a minute. I’m still distracting, right?” - thus, the first 10 minutes of a telephone conversation may be spent explaining that you still have time and are ready to listen to your interlocutor.
Therefore, it is better to remember a simple rule: messages are for facts, telephones are for emotions.
Admit it, do you like this future? Would you support these rules?

Why people stopped writing paper letters Completed by: 4th grade student of the Municipal Educational Institution “Virandozerskaya Secondary School” Kienok Sergey Supervisor: Elagina E.V.
The purpose of my work: Find out why people stopped writing paper letters.
Objectives: 1. Show that a paper letter remains with a person for many years. 2. Conduct research on people’s attitudes towards paper letters.
Research methods: 1. theoretical (analysis of literature on this topic); 2. general scientific (personal observations, surveys, questionnaires); 3.statistical (processing of survey results).
Hypothesis: Have paper letters really been replaced by computers and telephones; Or maybe they just forgot that in addition to SMS, there are also paper letters.
For my topic, I studied the following literature: 1. Zubkov B.V. “A book about a book”, Moscow “Baby”, 1984. 2. Kipling R. How the first letter was written. Moscow “Unix”, 2004 3. Anna Glyanchenko “Where did the paper letters go?” - http://www.uralstudent.ru/articles/preview (Internet resource)
A letter is a written text sent to communicate something to someone. S.I. Ozhegov. Dictionary of the Russian language.
The very first letter One day the girl Taffy went with her father to the river to catch carp for dinner. But here they were unlucky: their father’s spear broke. Taffy thought it would be a good idea to send Mom a note asking her to send another spear. It was very annoying that none of them could write or read! At this time, a Stranger was walking towards the tribe’s camp, who did not understand their language. Taffy decided to send a note with him to her mother so that someone would bring a spear. She wrote on the birch bark with a shark's tooth. So, she scribbled these pictures: dad with a broken spear, a spear that needs to be brought, the Stranger himself with a spear in his hand so that he would not forget it. To make it easier for him to find the way, the girl drew beavers that he would meet on the way. Finally she drew her mother with a spear in her hand.
However, the Stranger “read” these drawings in a completely different way. He thought that Taffy's father was the chief of the tribe and that he was in danger. “If I don’t bring the tribe of this great leader to his aid, he will be killed by the enemies who are creeping up on all sides,” he thought. He mistook beavers for enemies. “I will go and bring his whole tribe to his aid!” - the Stranger decided. And it turned out really bad when the letter got to my mother! Mom understood it this way: A stranger pierced her husband with a spear, Taffy was captured, a whole gang of villains is guarding them! Mom mistook the same beavers for the villains. Oh, and the Stranger got hit by the angry women of this tribe! And he could not explain anything to them: after all, he did not know their language... Well, how did this matter end? When everything was revealed, everyone laughed for a long time, and the leader of the tribe said: “Oh, Girl-who-needs-a-good-spanking (now everyone began to call her Taffy), you have made a great discovery! The time will come when people will call it WRITING! (Rudyard Kipling)

Introduction.
SLIDE №1
We all love comfort, convenience, good technology, household items, and fashionable clothes. We want to create a special image for ourselves, our family, our home. We strive to get the best out of life. We want our friends to be the best. So that everyone loves us and does not forget us. We also need communication. You can communicate in different ways: in person with a person, by phone, via the Internet, and you can also write a letter on paper by hand and put it in the mailbox. And then a man called the postman will help.
For us, children of the 21st century, the postman appears to be Pechkin wearing earflaps, with a thick bag over his shoulder. In fact, the postman doesn’t look like Pechkin at all and his bag is very thin.
I wondered why people stopped writing paper letters?

SLIDE No. 3
Based on this goal, I set myself the following tasks:1.Show that a paper letter remains with a person for many years.
2. Conduct research on people’s attitudes towards paper letters.
SLIDE No. 4
To solve the problems, the following research methods were used:
- theoretical (analysis of literature on this topic);
- general scientific (personal observations, surveys, questionnaires);
- statistical (processing of survey results).

For my topic, I studied the following literature:
1.Zubkov B.V. “A book about a book”, Moscow “Baby”, 1984.
A little about the history of writing.
SLIDE No. 7
Having opened the Dictionary of the Russian Language S.I. Ozhegova, I read this definition: A letter is a written text sent to communicate something to someone.
What interests me is a paper letter, a letter written on paper by hand.
There is a legend about the appearance of the first letter.

The role of writing in modern society.
SLIDE No. 11
The world is changing today faster than ever. A generation is growing up that already vaguely knows what a paper letter is, what an envelope, stamps and mail are. Completely different concepts have already been invented for it and exist:email, phone, skype.
Previously, letters were the only means of communication. I wrote them on notebook paper.
My grandmother says that letters have their own smell, they take us into the past, these are those living letters that we waited for, opened with trepidation and hope, and re-read a hundred times. These are the letters that read like poems, which are still kept in boxes, and perhaps someday will be published in memoirs. After all, letters always contain more than just words and letters. In a letter you can see what kind of handwriting a person writes, and how it changes in comparison with the beginning of the letter and its ending. You can see where the person was, what he crossed out, what he was thinking about.
I remember running home with an envelope. How, unable to bear it, you stop and carefully tear off a strip on the side of the letter. How joyfully you recognize familiar, uneven handwriting, how sometimes a photograph, or a newspaper clipping, or some other interesting thing suddenly falls out of a notebook sheet.
The letter was dropped into mailboxes, whispering for good measure: “Fly with greetings, come back with an answer!” Grandma remembers how she calculated in her head how many weeks (yes, not seconds, not hours - weeks!) to expect an answer.
SLIDE No. 12
In the 19th century in England, it was fashionable to write letters on multi-colored paper, the colors of which corresponded to the days of the week. On weekdays they wrote on sea green, pale pink, grey, light blue and silver paper. On Saturdays they wrote on yellow paper and on Sundays on white paper. This fashion spread to other countries. As for the lovers, they used the language of paper with all their might. The blue paper of the letter spoke of tenderness, and the yellow paper of fun. The letter on pink paper conveyed love, and the orange paper conveyed devotion. The green letter promised sweet hopes. At one time it was customary to smother letters with perfume.
There are few people left who are sensitive to letters. Nowadays more people keep them than write them. Another movement of information has arrived. But why?
I conducted a short survey of residents of our village. The age of the respondents ranged from 14 to 75 years.
SLIDE No. 13
The questions were asked: Do you often receive letters?
- Yes – 3 people
- Rarely – 3 people
- No – 37 people
SLIDE No. 14
Do you write letters yourself?
- Yes – 9 people
- Sometimes – 5 people
- No – 29 people
Where did the paper letters go? They lie in a heap of memories in someone's desk, and less and less people buy envelopes at the post office. Nowadays, letters are written mainly by grandmothers - to their childhood friends, with whom they have actually been friends “all their lives.” Especially romantic girls write, having read a lot and dreaming of being born twenty years earlier... Or a hundred. That's all, I guess.
SLIDE No. 15
The families I visited were happy to show me those letters, which they carefully keep and re-read many times.
This is all due to technological progress, the Internet and the increasing pace of life. “Why write paper letters when you can get an answer in a matter of seconds over the Internet?
SLIDE No. 16
To the question: Why did paper letters disappear? I received the following responses:
- Internet 28 appeared
- Cellular communication-32
- People are lazy, they don’t like to write-2
- Letters take a long time-1
- I don't know-3
Probably, in 10-20 years there will still be people who will write good old paper letters to their family and friends. But most people have lost the desire to waste time on them, and even drag themselves to the post office.
Imagine how interesting it would be if companies appeared that would accept letters electronically, rewrite them in beautiful handwriting, on paper that the client chooses (for example, for mom on March 8th on paper with the scent of flowers), and send them to the addressee themselves - the service would certainly be a success, and it would help a good tradition not to die.
SLIDE No. 17
The survey showed that, despite the development of electronic technologies in the field of instant information exchange, people still want to receive a paper letter.
To the question: Would you like to receive a letter? People responded like this:
- Yes-33
- I don't know-3
- No-7
In a few years, paper letters may disappear from our lives.
SLIDE No. 18
I visited the post office of our village and found out whether the number of letters that come to our village and leave us changes over the years.

Conclusion.
Of course, I understand that letters are a thing of the past, but this is so interesting. I have never before myself received a paper envelope in which a letter will lie, and it will be for me.
Together with my classmates, we decided to try to revive the good old tradition of writing paper letters. We hope that those recipients who receive our letters will answer us.
I am sure that paper letters will not die until the end; they will continue to find their addressee, as if nothing had happened.

Tell me, do they write you “live letters”? Are you waiting for the postman with a small white envelope that can make you the happiest!

____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! SURVEY “Where did they disappear paper letters?
____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! Essay on the topic: Why the world needs tolerance (letter to a friend) Hello, dear distant friend! You don't know me yet, but I hope we can become friends. My name is Diana, I was born and live in Russia. I love my country and my people very much. I hope you have heard about my country - it is very big, beautiful, rich. Russian art is known all over the world: literature, music, theater... Maybe you've heard that Russia used to be part of the USSR - the Soviet Union. It was a huge and powerful state that united many peoples, including my native Armenian. You know, I almost missed the times of the USSR, but, according to the stories of my relatives, all the peoples in this state lived peacefully and amicably. They considered themselves one big family, respected each other, the characteristics of each people, their culture, even their appearance... Unfortunately, all this has now disappeared. In our country, as throughout the world, nationalist and racial sentiments are intensifying. People treat people from the Caucasus, Arabs, and Muslims in general with distrust or disdain and contempt. I understand that all this is “not from a good life.” You know very well that in our country, like in yours, of course, terrorist acts have been committed. A lot of innocent people, old people, children died. One of the worst terrorist attacks took place during the screening of the musical “Nord-Ost” on Dubrovka. Can you imagine, people, many with their families and children, came to watch a fun performance. For all spectators it turned out to be a nightmare, for many it became the last spectacle of their lives... Although no! The last sight for them were people in masks, speaking an incomprehensible language and ready to kill at any moment for any action. It seems to me that many hostages at that time were tormented by the thought: “Why?” Why do these masked animal people want to kill them, what did they do that was so bad, how did they offend them? Why should children pay for the games of politicians, for the struggle for power and money, for other people’s ambitions? The whole world asked this question a little later, when the dead bodies were taken out of the theater on Dubrovka... And the terrible, incomprehensible terrorist attack in Beslan, when a school was captured, where there were children who came to a peace lesson on September 1. But this was no longer a Russian city, not Moscow, but North Ossetia. This once again confirms the idea that terrorists have no nationality, no loyalties, no heart. You know, I think it’s difficult to call them people: they are terrible creatures in human form, death machines, killers. And no one will ever prove to me that they commit their crimes out of some of their beliefs, principles, codes. For all people there is only one, most important, code - the code of humanity. And everything else is no longer from God, but from the devil... Although, what am I telling you about terrorists? Your people suffered no less from them, just remember the World Trade Center in New York. You know, sometimes it seems to me that the world has gone crazy... Or rather, not the world, but the people living in it. We all sorely lack love for each other, mutual understanding and respect, tolerance... Do you think there was more of this in the world before? And where did all this go, what is the reason for people’s wild aggression? My grandmother says that people do evil because they feel unhappy. A happy person strives to make the world around him better, brighter, more joyful, he strives to increase the amount of happiness and happy people around him. But the same thing happens with unhappiness... So why have people become more unhappy? You know, I listened to a program in which they said that almost all the inhabitants of our planet believe that the world has become more dangerous, it has become harder to live in it. People are afraid of their future, they don’t want to know about it! I understand that the world and our lives in it are rapidly developing. Sometimes we don’t even keep up with this development. Do you remember, as with science fiction writers, the world is owned not by man, but by the creations of the human mind - highly intelligent machines. But I think that’s not what scares people in the first place. They are concerned about “urgent matters”: unemployment, economic crisis, poverty. After all, the well-being of their family, the lives of their children and elderly parents directly depend on this. But, in addition, people are worried about the state of the environment, which is worsening every year, and the approaching wars, and the same terrorist attacks. Can we prevent all of this? Politicians, state leaders, and various public organizations are doing this. Whether it’s successful or not, I don’t know... But I think that every person can help make this world a little better. What is needed for this, you ask... It seems to me that we simply treat each other with great respect, with great respect, patience and understanding. We are all very different, at first glance. But, at our core, we are all very similar. We all want love, security, care. We all want happiness for our loved ones, peace, the opportunity to work and relax happily, to make this world a better place. Maybe you just shouldn’t stop yourself from being happy? Maybe we should just allow ourselves to be good? What do you think? I would be very glad if you share your thoughts on this matter. How do people in your country feel about everything that happens around them? What do they say in your family? Do you agree with my thoughts? I'll wait for an answer. Greetings from Russia,... Share on social networks! A letter is a message expressed in a compact form and intended for the exchange of information between people. The definition is correct and accurate, but have we forgotten what a letter is and why it is sometimes worth writing it at all? Remember how long ago you last wrote a letter? Paper or electronic, but not related to work and affairs. Why, if it is much easier and faster to call? Logical question. Yes, because the letter is the essence of what you wanted to say, but at the same time expanded with meaning, which you, even if you want, cannot instill in 5-10 minutes of a phone conversation, when the flow of information and the exchange of emotions is mutual and counter. I am not talking now about letters that are written in order to reassure worried relatives over a long absence of news, or in order to convey some most unpleasant news. After all, letters can be written just like that, from the heart. Writing a letter to a friend (especially on paper!) is like opening up to him “from the other side.” Even by the way a person writes a letter, with what expressive words and emotions, even then you can understand what he is like inside. What if the letter is paper, sent by regular mail, through those same aunts and uncles who sit at huge tables, with piles of thick, neatly sealed envelopes, with the addresses of senders and recipients? But this is the 21st century - the century of technology. Most of us have already forgotten how to write such letters, how to express feelings on paper with the help of our heads and pens. We prefer to write in an email, with two or three sentences of an informational nature, without any descriptions or thoughts. Straight news, unconditional. But still, almost everyone has a time when they want to sit in a soft chair, where it’s so cozy when it’s winter outside, and the house is warm and comfortable, when you want to take paper and write a letter to a relative or friend. A letter is like our second self. And if you write a letter to a person, then you must be completely confident in your words, phrases and sentences, as if you were talking to this person directly. “What do you write in your letters?” - they will ask you. Good question! Information about today? Weeks? Years?... No! After all, this will be an ordinary story, as if you returned home from work (or school) and tell your loved ones about what happened that day, with the same feelings and emotions. But someone will think differently and describe everything in their own way. And this will be a completely different letter. I immediately remember the wonderful and heartwarming film “You’ve Got Mail.” How sincerely and openly two completely different people communicate in this film! How clearly, distinctly and sincerely they express their thoughts, when many cannot express this in ordinary communication, face to face. It has long been known that with letters alone you can force yourself to respect, listen to your opinion and even fall in love - in general, manipulate the consciousness of others. Persuasiveness in this case is achieved easily and gracefully. True, there can always be someone who will decompose the same thing into other components and compose their “puzzle” in a different way. So there is no way without paper. The word cannot live without it, just like, forgive me for the vulgar comparison: canned beer and stew without preservatives. Therefore, despite the rapid development of the Internet, newspapers and magazines will never stop being published, letters written with ballpoint pens and... printers will “buzz.” |
