E-mail vs. Physical Mail


Postal mail wins in my book only because that’s how I get my Netflix movies and I have never had a problem with the old post mail. E-mail still has not mastered the ability to send physical items from one place to another but when they do I will vote e-mail all the way.

I do receive tons of mail from an e-mail account daily and appreciate the fact that I don’t have to pay for a stamp, I don’t even want to imagine what the price would be. I do like how e-mail is instant and you can send mail around the world in seconds with out having to pay for the stamps.

When it comes down to it though the possibility of sending hand signed holiday cards or thank you cards through the postal service just is that much better than a electronic card through the e-mail. When you make a mistake on the name of the letter the letter can still reach the person you addressed it to and that’s why I chose the postal service over e-mail.

Thats soooooooooooo right!Postal wins! Speed is definately -a trophy win for email. However like you said, there is something rather rich about postal mail. However, I prefer to receive an e-card versus a mailed card you can always reference it via the web as oppposed to carrying it around and having a giggle out of it every so often. (I get a lot of humor cards). Email can't do it all, whereas physical mail can.!
