A patient walks into a doctor's office. He has a cucumber up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear.
"What's the matter with me?" he asks the doctor.
The doctor replies, "You're obviously not eating properly!"
"I see. Lately I observed that I have been talking with my fingers too. Is there a cure for that, doctor?"
The doctor replies, "If you can discard your smartphones and revert back to your good old analog phone, that helps and you could be talking again in no time!"

In this era, email and texting are just plain handy isn't it? You allow the recipient more flexibility in answering, usable amidst noise and even allowing to a certain extent, a medium of flirtation less invasive than a phone call but quicker than a snail mail.
If you think about it, very few among us yearn for a world in which the only music is classical, the only dance is ballet and daily clothing requires corsets and waistcoats.
As such, we don't necessarily have to take the drastic approach like the doctor suggested above. We might as well embrace a brave new world where we can both talk with our fingers, and our mouth. And trust me - it certainly won't hurt to revisit the formidable letter-writing every now and then, should romance be missing in air.
