Are you afraid that people are going to use photo's as a way to avoid more personal and direct communication? For example, instead of sending your mother a birthday card, you might send her a picture of a birthday card? Or even worse, you might send her a picture instead of calling?

[edit] or are you not afraid at all but are embracing this?

I didn't really intend to encourage or deride any change, I just wanted to ask whether or not other people feel that it is happening. Though funnily enough, my mom usually sends me e-cards on holidays. Those are kind of like pictures of cards and I appreciate them anyways.

In that case, "yes" I do think it's happening. But... I love receiving e-cards from my mother too.
