I love talking. I could talk all day. I call people all the time; it's something I love doing. However that's me. That's what I love to do. Not everyone shares my passion for communicating orally. I know lots of people who hate using the phone, they find they can't express themselves or they get to shy. It is these types of people that generally send letters. For thousands of years people have sent letters. There are millions of people who would much rather send a letter then talk face to face to a person. Letters however take a long time to reach their destination. Snail mail was radiculas and even email takes to long for a person to have a normal conversation. Thanks to Instant Messaging people can finally talk to people they way they feel comfortable. This is why instant messaging has gone so far so fast. Some people find the phone easy, some people find instant messaging easy. Everyone is different. It's just that simple.
