The current generation has largely accepted the Facebook website as an essential vehicle for interacting with each other. With this new medium of communication, there are marked changes in traditional forms of communication: party invitations, birthday cards, which were once all handwritten and mailed with authenticity, are now digitally transcribed and delivered electronically.
