Pen, Pencil, or Stylus

This is the first time I'm using my new stylus pen. It seems as if I have to press too hard because I'm losing letters. An A was lost to a soft touch while an E repeated itself. Is this poking with a soft end of what looks as if it is masquerading as a pen the way to assuage our longing for a writing implement?

Yesterday I received a real letter written with both a pencil and when that broke written with a pen. Imagine the novelty? Someone actually folded the paper, inserted it into an envelope and addressed an envelope instead of typing three letters of my name and a choice of names popping up on a screen.

Technology's side effects include isolation masking as congeniality.
