Letter Writing is archaic and should not be taught

I personally think that there are reasons for letter writing to be taught and why it shouldn't be taught anymore. I think that there are fundamentals in the business world that should never be forgotten such as writing a formal letter within a company to explain an opinion or belief about something important. Even though a business should evolve as technology evolves, fundamentals should be kept because they lead to success and teach employees how to communicate in an effective, hard-working way. I also find it effective to communicate thoughts, feelings and honesty in such a way that is presentable and professional and I think that writing a letter explains a personal stance that way.
On the contrary, as I already stated, technology evolves so should a business in order to experience success. It is important to utilize technology because not only does it make certain things easier but it also gives employees and businesses ways to be creative and appealing to an extent. The world has gotten to the point where we have almost forgotten about the fundamentals that make a business successful and as we continue on the path to the "cyber world" we will see a decrease in the overall success in an industry.
Overall, there is a fine balance between fundamentals such as formal letter writing and using technology to fulfill our business needs as consumers or employees. That balance needs to receive the attention it deserves or else there is going to be failure in one way or another.
