Write an article that explains why modern methods of communication are better than old ones. (My final draft.)

I can't imagine how it is believed that old methods of communication are more practical than modern methods. Take emails, for example, that allow you to be assured that your message was received by the recipient. Older methods such as writing and sending a letter are much less reliable, as a letter can be lost in the posting process, whereas an email will kindly not fail to send without you being aware due to a notice. If I was to send an urgent email containing crucial information about work, for example, my email account would warn me if it didn’t send before I logged out of my account and/or computer; this would allow me to send the message again and ensure that it will be received.
 Modern methods such as emails, text messages and social networking sites save a lot of unneeded, horrid hassle of having to write out addresses or dial numbers each time you need to contact someone (I attempted to use an old-fashioned telephone to dial a number in the past, and found it quite unnecessary) because your past recipients are saved onto your device/account. I find this extremely time-saving and that also means that typing/writing/dialling mistakes are much less likely to be made.
 Furthermore, modern methods are much faster in the way that sending a text, email, private message, 'tweet', 'wall post,' etc. would take much less time than communicating by pigeon, as many used to. These modern devices would be a much more efficient way to communicate if a woman was in labour and needed assistance quickly, for example, or if someone was hurt suddenly, as a text message would be instant and could rapidly be received and acted upon.
