New vs. Old


As Jarna had grown up, her life had been a mix of pen and paper and the computer. Now however, technology was advancing and almost everything was starting to be taken over by it. Although Jarna was young, she quite prefered the old fashioned ways of pen to paper and face to face interaction as apposed to the ways of communication modern technology offered. Jarna thought it was a lot better to see someone or write to them rather than use technology. Because, it seemed, technological communication was much easier to misinterpret.

One day, Jarna decided to see what others thought. For quite a time now, she'd had a youtube under a nickname that friends had called her with one deliberate spelling mistake so that her name had a certain ring to it- Kreative Kitten. She'd also added 2302 onto it to make it a little special. That was her birthday, the 23rd of February. This made her username KreativeKitten2302.

Jarna uploaded a video explaining what she'd been thinking about and at the end, asking the question that had been on her mind for days, even weeks now. Her video got an overwhelming response from viewers and had an overflow of opinions. After looking at each one, Jarna discovered that the answers she'd received were in fact 50/50, half of them supported paper and pen and the other half were supportive of technology. Yet, Jarna couldn't decide which she liked best. She liked them both equally. Both methods had their pros and their cons.

So, the question still remains, which method of communication is best? Jarna decided that they were both equal, but she still liked hearing the public's opinion. What do you think? Which is better? Old or new?
