30) The older Mail-Artists Generation

Is seems that the 'older mail-art generation' isn't active on The Internet that much. Do they still send out mail-art and avoid the Internet. Did they stop? Did only the Computer-users survive the Internet-changes? What happened?

I am not sure about what happened or if they are still sending out mail art but I do believe they stay away from the Internet as far as the correspondance art goes and believe this is a very important issue raised. It seems that as mail art has developed a whole bunch of it's originators have been left behind, out of choice? probably...but for this to happen doesn't hold much promise for the future for correspondance art. If this continues to happen as correspondance art develops we are loosing much depth and importance. Mail art has been developed over the years and has been divided it to many different areas and has even influenced many mainstream projects. As mail art continues to develop and gets divided into more areas, as did the two, traditional (postal) mail art and online mail art, more confusion will occur on what mail art actually is and loose all originality ...
