... is that the "thoughtful" part is an element of the human who is providing the content. Just as there are heartfelt, beautiful messages written on paper and sent through the mail, there are kind, considerate and deeply considered missives that find their way to the recipient through electronic means. And, though it needn't be said, there is trash in both manner of communication.

While "the medium is the message" is a truism some of the time, I never, ever write off a text/email/social media post out-of-hand simply because of the way it is transmitted. If I did, my life would be poorer for it.
