1. What is the difference between letter and e-mail?

Well, letters and e-mails are different in several ways. Though both of them are used of communication, they different in their nature. The first one is manual while the later one is electrical. To write a letter, you’ll need pen and a paper, then you are to go for the post office to post the letter yet sometimes it remains unknown whether the letter will be delivered or not in some cases. But to compose an e-mail, you need a computer with an active internet connection. You also need to have an e-mail account to send the mail while the recipient also needs the same – an e-mail address to receive the e-mail. But sending emails have some benefits which are not found in posting letters. The important issue about e-mail is that it is much safer than sending letters. Only the intended recipient is able to read the e-mail while the letters could be read by anyone as those are sent using envelopes which is insecure. You can send e-mail to any parts of the world where there is an internet connection, but on the other side, postal service is not enriched around the world and sometimes sent letters go missing for several reasons. Earlier, people used to send letter and wait for months for the reply but those days are over now for the dint of e-mail. An e-mail can reach its recipient within a couple of second after it is sent.

2. Do you often keep diaries?

Umm! No. I do not keep diaries at all now. But when I was a teen, I used to keep a dairy and penned all the events of the day on that. Sometimes I used to read the diary in my leisure hours and remembered all the events through my imagination. I gave up keeping diary after I got promoted in my high school; I had to be very busy with my studies and extracurricular activities and sports events. My engagement on different events increased that made me highly occupied and I hardly could manage time for keeping the diary. Earlier, when I kept the diary, I spent around one hour in a day to remember all the happened events and then wrote them on the diary. And it was night time when I wrote. But I tried to reduce the time and someday I found that I’m unwilling to keep it. The writing appeared troublesome and with a tired body I could not write well. Since then, I gave up the habit of keeping my diary.

3.What is the difference between diary and letter?

There are huge differences between a diary and letter. First, the difference is about purposes. A letter is written for someone to inform over any specific issues who is living far away from the letter writer, and a diary is basically the combination of all the events that someone has experienced throughout the day. There are a few similarities are found as well like the letter is sent with information while the diary is also filled with information but the uses are different. Moreover, a diary is always private while the letter may not be private always. Diaries provide pleasure to the diary-keeper while the letter could carry either good or shocking news. Diary keeping is habit for many of the people who want to save the past events of the day on the pages while letter is not used unless it turns necessary. Letter is written on a sheet of paper while diary is written on a small-sized book with empty pages. The letter needs to be sent using envelops and stamps while the diaries could be kept at any place at home as those are not need to send for others. Additionally, a diary contains the thoughts and emotions and many necessary or unnecessary facts and information of an individual while the letter contains only the essential information.

4.What is the difference in the past and at the present as regards communications?

Thanks for your question. Communication has experienced the greatest change and there are wide ranges of communications system. The humankind started progress with the invention of wheel and since then communication has gained many ups and downs. We can see a good number of communication modes now like telephone, telex, e-mail, letter social networking websites etc. but those underwent different upgrades from time to time and they were not in the situation as we are experiencing them now. I also have heard that a long ago people used pigeon to send messages from one place to another though a bit risky communication mode. After the initiation of postal service, it was a kind of relief for the people and communication became easy for them in the then context. But when the modern communication modes got invented, it becomes easier for them. The modern communication modes spread rapidly within a few decades and now people rely more on the modern modes instead of the traditional communication modes.
