ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Aug, 2018 ) :The world is making a technological shift and old traditional way of sharing Eid greetings have also transformed into 'e' versions.

Now to share Eid greetings and wishes people prefer to send e-cards than buy a old-fashioned greeting card, write a note, slap on a stamp and send it via slow mail process.

It is becoming increasingly popular among people�to share electronic cards, message or tweet via Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or e-mail with their friends, family, colleagues and loved ones.

The Obvious benefit of an e-card is that it is 100% free. Just because something is free doesn't mean it isn't appreciated by its recipient.

The fact that one doesn't need to open up his or her wallet makes the notion of sending e-cards to multiple people quite easy and fun A student Minhal Shakir said, sending paper greeting cards requires multiple steps i.e buying the card from your local store, writing�a personal�note, buying a stamp, then delivering it via mailbox or post office, in this busy and fast life it is not possible for everyone to spare time for this long process.

The reason people love e-cards is that they only require an internet connection, e-cards are always accessible, while real cards depend on a number of external issues, she added.

Most importantly electronic cards are much more environmentally friendly, e-card popularity might primarily reflect our increasing dependence on the Internet, but it does have green benefits.

Some people are of the opinion that emotions expressed through paper cards can be better articulated with interactive e-cards, without hurting the environment,�The point to remember is that both options are already a step above, and will bring a smile to whoever receives a card, whether it's digital or physical.

Basically, I'm happy when any friend remembers me, whether by mail or e-mail, so why would I care if someone e-mails me or sends me a card?"Mehwish Azam a government employee said.
