This comment could literally (literally literal) be an imperial apologist in one of Asimov's books... even the concise, urging, commaed style.

You promised us instant messaging. All we got is colour postcards. This is the beginning of a dark age.

I feel like people would appreciate a handwritten physical memento over, say, a short SMS.

Most electronic messaging forms are either closed (do you have Telegram? How bout Signal? Or maybe Messenger? Snapchat? Etc.) or basically inundated with electronic spam. If I got an email claiming to be from the Queen of England I’d just think it’d be a more ballsy version of the Nigerian prince scam.
