On: I found my Grandpa’s notes 20 years after he died (2020)

I read a random letter from my grandfather recently. The most interesting part of it was how much mundane life updates were in it. Things that don't seem normative to communicate in written word anymore, because they're so transient they belong in a transient form, like a phone call. Letters felt much more like an ongoing spoken conversation.

I think social media has a lot of these mundane life updates. “Cut the grass today; ate a burger; here’s the beer I’m drinking.”
