IS WRITING NOW IRRELEVANT?

God forbid that writing become irrelevant! What becomes of this generation and that of my children?
When I think of writing, what come to my mind is word(s) or other symbol(s) written down as a means of communication.

Writing is writing in any form, be it with a pen, computer, or any other means, so long as the writer is passing a message across.
Growing up as a child, works such as ‘the gods are not to blame’, ‘Shakespeare’, ‘the tale of two cities’ and so many others are what writing were to me.
Writing has evolved over time, but the fundamental thing about writing is the line of communication between the writer and the reader.
Presently, writing can be done in various forms be it handwriting, type writing etc. there are so many great works written online and bounded in papers and they increase daily.
Writing is an art, and will never die; in fact there are many great write ups now than ever before.
However, the advent of computers has brought both negative and positive gain to writing. One can argue that the computer has contributed to the new slangs and words and if this trend is not curbed, we might lose our deep sense of words.
On the other hand, I would say with the craze for social media sites, people are more interested in writing in their blogs, webs, posts and others which to me is a good thing.
Writing comes from the soul, it is a food to the soul, once people are alive, then I make bold to say that writing is not and will not be irrelevant.
The beauty of writing is that it outlives the writer and that to me is the joy of writing
