Would I be right in thinking birthday cards are on the way out?

In my family the old folks set great store by choosing the right one and making sure it arrives on time and the kids mostly don't send them at all. My generation- somewhere in the middle- sends cards in a spirit of conformity but wishes it didn't have to.

Am I generalizing from too small a data base or have I spotted a trend?

I love sending cards, for birthdays and Christmas mostly. It's not a tradition here in Spain so I tend to stock up on cards (keeping who I am buying them for in mind as I have a list of birthdays on my phone) when I'm in the US or the UK.
I don't know what's going on with card-sending statistically, though. That's just my personal preference.
