people still use pen and paper for letters????

This wouldve been cool if it were released 10 years ago. Really, who writes letters anymore.

 

[haunted one]

I don't get it. What, exactly, is this?

 

[Ragnar-Kon]

Maybe this is my feelin on the subject...

But why would you pay for stationary like this at all?

 

[Ambictus]

Strangely I find that pretty cool!

I like it but cant remember the last time I actually wrote on paper.

I don't know about you guys, but I still write on paper all the time. I still haven't found a way that's halfway as efficient for taking notes in class.

Tablets and smartphones are a pain to type on. Netbooks/notebooks are better, but office apps don't match the flexibility of pen and paper and the battery is an issue at times.

But letters? I still write postcards, but real letters? Who does that anno 2010?

I always write with a pen and paper, i did quit for a while, then i forgot cursive, there goes the 4th grade... anywho, in some cases, writing a letter can sometimes add a nice touch in this eWorld...

It takes a while to get in to, but OneNote from MS Office is brilliant for notes and cross-referencing. For jotting stuff down, yeah pen and paper is still the best, but for full fledged note taking, for me it has to be OneNote now.

Back on topic, I like the design but that is the problem. I do not need to like paper for it to be useful. I would never send a proper letter on this paper as it is so unprofessional. If I am writing more casually... generally txts, FB and emails tend to get the job done. That is, if I can't be bothered to actually phone someone. lol

OneNote is great, but regular pen and paper is still faster for quick note taking, especially in maths and science courses (try to insert a complex physics formula in OneNote as fast as you can scribble it down...).

I barely have to write with a pen or pencil anymore other than signing my name. I was about to write a note to a colleague named Quincy, so I grabbed the pen and began to write his name in the top left of a post-it, when I realized that I dont remember how to write a cursive Q anymore. I switched from cursive to print for the note, but I had to look up how to write a cursive Q on Google.

These don't really look like icons, just cell shaded/Borderlands style.

 

[Gin Fushicho]

Woah...WOAH.... those things are REAL? I thought it was photoshopped!

Don't really understand this, back in the day envelopes and paper with black borders were funeral invitations to indicate someone had died...

I write letters to companies and occasionally my old relatives.

Agree about paper though, I love paper for designing applications, website designs and taking notes (if I ever bother to go to class)

Also, those are cool. I like this sort of concept, I'd love to see more things designed like that. Gives off a simplistic modern feel (none of this overly-shiny crap)

Pen and paper is still effective because it instantly shows the recipient your respect for them, seeing as you spent the time and energy to write a letter, buy a stamp and mail it off.

In terms of relationship-building, a handwritten letter beats email any day.

The diagonal lines should have been pixelated, kind of like those lame things people make the mistake of naming "8-bit' whatevers.
