Some easy way to capture a written reply would be good too. Voice is personal; email not as much. Handwriting is personal for me. Maybe it's a smart phone app that makes it simple to take a picture of a letter or note card. Maybe it makes sense to suggest replying on a 3x5 card or something (instead of a a full sheet of paper) and maybe that simplifies the photo issue. The digital record is captured and then a physical one can be kept. It can also be extended to have your parents take a picture of a picture of their favorite memory
- nickbaum 13y agoHi joebo, I like these ideas. In fact, one of my friends uses a service called Presto that prints out the question emails for his grandmother, and she answers on the back and mails them to him! I still think you get a lot of the personality through the writing, and people can also add pictures when they reply. Another thing I'm thinking about is encouraging people to record voice-versions of the stories they write in text, so you have both (and of course transcription for the other direction)
