I do not know why but every year on Valentine's Day I think about fond couples and their communication in the past and nowadays.
In the present it is so easy to get hold on with somebody. According the research there is about 2.7 billion users of mobile phones and 1.3 billions of fixed land lines worldwide. http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2007/01/putting_27_bill.html
Most of the population have got even 2 or 3 mobiles which are useless. As the competition between mobile operators is big, the prices are cheaper and retailers try to offer better and better deals for consumers.
Using of mobiles is very useful in term of contact someone in a quick way and save time. But since this new technology become available I really miss letters from my relatives, friends and people who love me. The excitement of waiting days and weeks (depending on the distance) and looking every day into the post box for the letter has gone away with using mobiles. The letters are replaced by messages and as they have certain limit of letters to include in one message I do very often end up with missing the most important information. Or sometimes I have to send more messages to say everything what I need and therefore spend more money on credit as I can. There are about 30 billions of messages exchanged worldwide.

The other negative of it is using of abbreviations. To include as much as possible and save as much space as possible force people write abbreviations There is a little example:‘'Enrte Cu in 10 min' (which means 'am enroute to venue, will see you in 10 minutes') is a typical message sent by Devika Prabhu of SET India Pvt Ltd, who is an avid SMS user. http://www.rediff.com/netguide/2003/jun/13english.htm
And you would be very surprise about its negative influence to youngsters and their spelling habits.
I am not against mobile phone I agree that it is inseparable part even of my life but people should not forget about beauty of letters from friends and I feel that it is a shame that this type of informal communication decreasing and becoming old fashionable.
