I remember writing long letters to my friends and family back in my college days (early 90's). While I had access to email, a huge proportion of my family and friends did not at that time. I remember, for example, taking paragraphs to describe my first Pink Floyd concert to a friend in India I was writing to. If I had had access to the technologies of today, I would have taken short videos and photos and shared them with my friend, instead of recalling the concert in my mind's eye, finding the words to describe it, forming them and editing them in-memory to form coherent sentences and writing them down.
