I'm surprised 6 people put "Something else" in the Staying in Touch poll...

I don't even know what other methods there are... paper mail??

Are you insulting real communication?!!! Paper mail is obviously superior. So much faster than texting or calling, and the traditional way is always the best way!

I mean, I don't have a Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat or TikTok account, I don't text or own a phone, and my friends don't really go on these forums much, so "Something else" was really my only option (besides video calling, I have been using Zoom a good deal). My primary method of communication is in-person.

I will say that you forgot to put emailing on there, though...

It just so happens that my channels of communication are nicely divided by the types of people I contact. By order of precedence,

• I use Discord for Carmel Science Olympiad, which is my "something else"

• I use Gmail for North Carolina Science Olympiad

• Aside from scioly.org, Facebook and Messenger are for any other Science Olympiad matters

• I use Instagram to contact my freshman-year roommate

• I use GroupMe for UNC groups, because, for reasons I don't understand, the UNC student body adores GroupMe

• Texts are for (mostly) low-priority matters

Everything just fell in place. I didn't design my reachability like this, but it's convenient that as soon as I see a notification, I can tell which group the sender belongs to by checking which app sent the message. Actually, because only a few people from each group reach out to me each week, I can usually even tell who sent the message before I read it.

Carrier pigeon is clearly the fastest and most reliable method of communication.

I could've sworn that I read something about the fastest mode of communication being by radio wave, via the repeater on the Mars Rover...

Yeah, one of the easiest tests to self-study for if you have a teacher who deliberately makes tests and assignments easy... *shrugs*

I've been wanting a snail mail penpal but the sad thing is that I don't have any stamps....
also writing has been decreasing due to the internet, writing is beautiful. Please keep writing.

Perhaps you could add discord? Seems to me that a lot of people use that here

I thought that was on there. Besides to be fair a lot of teachers send us postcards.
