Email vs. Postal Service

 The postal service has been around for a long time and is still used to this day because of how effective it is. With the holiday seasons coming up everyone around the world will be using it for getting gifts and sending letters to their loved ones. A letter in the mail is more personal to someone then getting an email, it shows that someone took the time to get a card and wrote something meaningful in it. Everyone can agree that when they were younger they loved getting mail. For most of us it was a card for our birthdays or the holidays and it was always from the grandparents, and money was always in the cards. With the world changing all around every day and technology being the number one subject that everyone has got their eyes on. Using an email now days is one of the fastest and easiest way to send someone a letter. People don’t have to wait a week to get a letter in the mail, the message arrives on the other side in seconds. Its easy to attach a file or a picture to the email, weather it be something for work or just sharing the adventures you have been on to a loved one through pictures.

Now days everyone has gone away from sending a letter in the mail and use email because of it convenience. There is always pros and cons to everything, with the postal service its cost, weather can affect the time in which the letter arrives, or just the fact that the letter gets lost in the vast pool of written messages. With email the computer could break down or the internet isn’t functioning or just as simple as the email server not up and running. We as a society have been moving away from being personal and moving towards technology and that  is the only way we think we can communicate these days. Sometimes its just nice to receive a written message form someone it makes it all the more special and meaningful because someone put the time into getting everything done that goes into sending a letter in the mail. Its rare to receive a letter in the mail, that’s something I believe needs to make a comeback.
