Comparison Of Mail Communications

     New technologies have always allowed us to do things faster, more
efficiently, and more professionally than ever before.  Generally, every
new technology is a step forward for speed and productivity.  But,
despite this paradigm, the coming of the latest mail communications
innovation has brought many pros and cons with the package.  Electronic
mail could be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but there are many
who find flaws in it.  We are now going to take a moment to compare the
speed, ease, reliability, and expense of electronic mail with our
general postal system.
     The speed of transfer is an important part of the decision to send mail
by either protocol.  E-mail has a distinct advantage in this category.

from two days to two weeks to deliver, depending on the locations of the
sender and the receiver.  Even sending a letter to the house across the
street takes time due to unnecessary movement.  The mail is taken to the
nearest large post office, sorted there, then delivered to the post
office closest to the destination, and delivered from there.  In other
words, mail that is sent across town sometimes has to travel out of town
and back again to reach the final point.

     Another variable aspect of the two mail systems is ease-of-use, which
can potentially be quite costly.  E-mail has many disadvantages when
viewed from this angle.  For one thing, e-mail requires some knowledge
of computer operation.  Anyone who wishes to use e-mail need...
