I just figured out the other day that my generation is one of the last to experience note writing in school. Obviously I'm referring to paper notes vs cell phone notes. I still have some of my notes from early High School. Kids will never again exchange paper notes folded into amazing shapes and fully functional Chinese stars. That's just sad. The teacher can't say "Is that a note...read that in front of the class". Those days are over. You can't come up with cheesy codes that only you and your friends know or weird signatures. You can't do the note swap in the halls like secret agents exchanging brief cases so fast no one notices. Your mom can't find the notes and then ask you about them. It's all so secret. You couldn't show off your latest drawing skills or sketch the next skateboard trick you want to try.
And here s the worst part, there is no historical record to look back upon. The cell phone messages are just gone as soon as they are read. No one will stumble on to them years from now and smile. Maybe some things about it are better but the good old notes were pretty cool.
Who would have thought so much would change in 10 years or so. Man I sound old.

thats why i copy alot of my blogs and poems and letters and put them in a book, cause although they are digital they can be printed off and bound in a book , Dee still writes letters, she is great like that.
