Greetings from MeraSnap.com.

Sparsh is our monthly bak-bak on how technology impacts personal communication - for good and bad. Like the old jungle saying, we may or may not like the transition. But can we afford to ignore it?

So, here we go. It takes 3 mins wonly.

Warmly,
Team MeraSnap

 
The morphing of hand-written letters into Email, IM, SMS and what not…

As humans, we like to communicate and connect. We thought our email inbox was
intimidating enough, a recent article by Martha Irvine says teens already see email as old school!

The generation born between 1979 and 1994 (known by marketers as "millennials") have practically grown up with the Internet. In the India-specific sense, it's the mobile phone. Email is largely being replaced by instant messaging, blogs and social networking sites.

So, where does that leave the art of letter writing? It is a pleasure to receive letters and worth the effort to write them. How else can one convey sincerity and layers of emotions?

This article by Megan Bode rues the lack personal touch in an email.

…wholesome entertainment. It has mother sentiment, father sentiment, brother sentiment, girlfriend-
boyfriend sentiment, angry, murder, love, romance, sadness, tears, etc. More. By Anu Russel. But Balaji's review is sensible.

Well, the story is about a group of students in the Chemistry batch of 1991 in a campus that incorporates
active and violent student politics. More. By Sreejith Kumar
