The web-'block'??!

Well, certainly a long delayed update.You see, it is very difficult for most people used to the quintessential pen and paper, to get used to composing in front of the monitor.There is a disturbing lack of emotions and a not-too self-complimentary blankness of the mind every time I endeavour to do it. Also the process of writing on paper and then typing it-too cumbersome.And as far as I know, I am not the only one who faces this problem.Some of my more intelligent friends also complain of the same short-coming hindering their progress with net-writing. Same has been the misfortune faced by a number of very famous writers and their type-writers(of the past) and their MS Words(of the present).
I would certainly love to know whether this is a problem with all and sundry or just a few of us non-upgraded souls.Because, if it's near to universal problem, then it goes a long way in explaining the difference of the "e", between mail and e-mail.That difference that most of us,still attached to the emotional baggage that snail mail tags along with itself,lament.It is certainly ironical that its the very same factor,Time, that endears a piece of paper with some scribbled writing on,to our hearts and fails to inspire that same feeling when we non-chalantly delete read mails from our inbox.Time spared.More important than the time taken in transit....
