THE WRITTEN WRIT – IS THE WRITTEN WORD
“Oh that MY WORDS were now WRITTEN! oh that they were PRINTED in a BOOK! 24 That they were GRAVEN with an IRON PEN AND LEAD in the ROCK FOR EVER!” Job 19:23-24.
“And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not WRITTEN in this book: 31 but these are WRITTEN, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name” John 20:30-31.
“Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full” 2 John 1:12
“I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee: 14 but I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face“ 3 John 1:13-14.
“PAPER VS TECHNOLOGY” – JULE LANGHEIN
“Whoever decided that one cancels out the other?” PAPER users are not waging war nor mounting a great defence against TECHNOLOGY. In fact we embrace it. Most of us stationery lovers own the new smart phones, computers and many other digital devices but this technology hasn’t pushed paper out of our lives or rendered it obsolete – We just changed the way we use it.
I have watched over the year’s paper users create their own beautiful and very unique mix of everything they wanted and needed to hand and this has never stopped evolving. It’s up to the individual to create their ideal collaboration between paper based and digital devices, a mix that works for them.
Technology can connect you to the world at the touch of a button but the act of writing and the use of paper connect us to ourselves.
Technology is immediate and fast paced but paper is intimate, personal and permanent and it’s never stopped working.
So if we stationery lovers are fighting anything, then it’s a battle of perceptions.
The facts are that some things are great digital but many better physical and there is plenty of room for both.
