Tradition

Hello Everyone!!!

So, a couple of things happened this week that got me thinking. The first thing was I received a card and Disney vouchers off my friend and the card was just so lovely to read as I haven't seen her in a while as she doesn't live close by. The second thing that happened is an old friend of mine from when I was very young began speaking to me again over Facebook. She lives on the other side of the world from me so I haven't seen her since we were very young but it was so nice speaking to her again and we have decided that we are going to start writing letters to each other as we both love a bit of tradition.

So, this got me thinking about tradition and modern day. Of course technology is a fantastic thing (most of the time), but you can't beat a bit of tradition. Of course me and my friend began speaking again over Facebook so technology was a major part in that, but now that we have decided to write letters to each other I just can't wait!!!

I love writing even though I'm not that great at it and there is nothing better than receiving a hand written letter through the post.

Now when it comes to modern day, obviously technology plays a huge part in our lives. My boyfriend for example couldn't do his artwork without technology as he specifies in an area which requires a computer and a whole lot of software. I rely on technology when it comes to deciding on music for a dance piece or if I decide I want footage in my performance then technology plays a major part there.

So really, the question is could we live without technology in this generation? Probably not. But how many of you out there are like me and love a good bit of tradition? Letter writing, actual books not kindles/e-readers etc. I definitely think I would cope a lot better than some people if the world was to go back to how it was before all of this technology was created. But there would still be parts of my life that wouldn't be able to happen. Like what I'm doing now for example. I couldn't sit and write a blog post that's for sure. And I couldn't waste the day away by watching YouTube.

But there's just something about tradition I love and I never want it to fade. I think I'll always be a one to love tradition more than modern day, but of course the things we have today help us so much in everyday life. It's a difficult decision to pick between tradition and modern day if I had to as I love tradition so much so instead I'm just going to carry on doing both!!!

So, where do you stand in this topic? Do you love a good written letter like me? Do you love modern day technology and the experiences it gives you? Let me know down in the comments and I'll be sure to comment back.

Speak to you all next Sunday!!!
