Are Hand Written Notes Too Old Fashioned?

By Sandy -
Are hand written notes so old fashioned that they're absolutely "out"?

Today I wanted to send a thank you note to someone for interviewing me for his blog.  Although he has a broad digital footprint, I couldn't find an actual address anywhere!

It got me thinking... is it so 'out' that people think it's weird?

I remember a year or two ago, one of my daughters came into my office and looked at a note I was writing to someone that was up on the monitor.  "PERHAPS"???!! she shrieked.  "Nobody says "perhaps" anymore" and she left, shaking her head.   I have since stricken the word from my vocabulary.  Is it time to strike out the written thank you note?
