I suppose it depends on what you send in a letter whether it really needs to be on paper. If the replacement for dead trees is herds of people staring at electronic devices all day, grinding up a few trees isn't such an awful thing. I like the idea of digitizing documents so I can carry a library in my pocket, but I still keep a printer because there are those times when the only way to get a response from some agency is sending snail mail. There's no way I could do it with a pen on paper; I'm to the point where arthritis and age make my penmanship past a line or two unreadable. But this is what we have to work with, and I find email a lot quicker and more efficient for some communications. Even that is going by the wayside as the mainstream considers is mostly stodgy and out of style.
