How is a call or a letter better than an email?

• elbear 9y ago
  It's probably considered closer to a real life interaction, which has more meaning than an email. To make a comparison, imagine a close friend wishing you Happy Birthday through email instead of calling you.

  Emails are really easy to ignore, letters are _slightly_ less easy, calls are rather hard to ignore, and visits basically cannot be ignored. At least in the sense that you get feedback instantly from the latter two, while the first two leave you wondering whether they got the correspondence or not, or are just ignoring you.

  Imagine a 1000 people ... ... send you an email ... send you a letter ... call you ... visit you What will have the biggest impact/influence on a politician? A full email-inbox: Impressive, but ignorable. A full inbox: Impressive, creates a lot of work, even just to trash the letters. A always ringing phone: You can either ignore the people or listen to their problems. For sure it blocks you in some way Your home is surrounded by people: It's probably the hardest to ignore that.
