Explanation
The chapter describes the 'fast-paced world' as one where people are 'addicted to instant communication' and prefer telephones. The writer contrasts this with writing letters, which can be 'treasured and re-read over the years, with great, abiding pleasure.' This indicates that instant communication, while quick, lacks the depth and lasting value of written correspondence.
