So I find the concept of ecards fine.... just not for around the holidays. Recently I received one via email. Not only did I find it lazy but I also found it extremely insincere and impersonal. At least when a card is sent by mail you know the person spent time to write down the name of your family, and truly thought of you. Christmas cards are a sort of loving tradition, and by clicking a few buttons and selecting all the contacts on your email account makes the entire process less heart warming. I find these ecards lazy, but who am I to judge.. people lead busy lives these days. Maybe, if this alternative existed years ago, people would have used them and they wouldn't seem like a modern thing. I love technology but sometimes I do not like the changes it brings.

I understand and agree with you. Ecards make people seem lazy and make me feel like I wasn't worth a real card. In a card, notes are usually personalized while ecards are the same generic statement sent to many friends. On the other hand, for non-holiday greetings, it can be alright. A few weeks ago, my dog who was in quarantine for months, finally got to the UK. My mom snapped a picture of my sister and I with our dog and then stuck it in an ecard and sent it to family and friends. This does make for a much quicker and easier way inform the people we care about of an important event.
