I personally prefer to use text message and email than to write handwritten notes or letters for several reasons.
One reason I prefer to use text message is because text message and email can be used faster than the notes. I can type a letter out for a just a few seconds, but in contrast, to write notes and letters can take me up to few hours. It is also delivered taking less time and effort. When I use text messages and press ‘Send’, the message I sent arrive to recipient in constant. Meanwhile, the letter takes a day or so to deliver by postman.
The next reason I am partial to use text message is since it is in constant, it is almost free in charge. The email on the internet don’t charge me for sending an email, so do the text message. It can be used free or I can use it by charging a small amount of money monthly. On the other hand, the letter and note requires considerable amount of money. To write a letter and note, I need to buy a letter paper, and it also need to be sent going through the post office. Though it costs less to send a letter in to small distance, it costs a lot to send one to the other countries.
 Although some people like to use handwritten note, I am fond of using text message and email for because it is faster and cheaper to use in contrast to the letter.
