Email -vs- Regular Mail

In today's society you see all types of different electronics and I can imagine that you probably do not spend one second wondering what is the result of the new technology. I am just old enough to know how different it was to only be able to write personal letters and have them sent from one house to another. This process would take days and even a week or so on rare occasions. When I first got wind of this "email" concept, i was truly blown away. All of a sudden I had something in my "inbox" from 4 states away! At that moment I did not ask myself the question, what will happen to regular mail? Now that technology is spinning out of control, I wonder each day what we will lose to this.

Email is indeed the better way to go, and this is for a number of reasons. Some examples are:
- Faster
- Can send to more than one person at a time
- Cheaper
- Can save the copy of the letter you wrote for later on

But, do these all come with their own price?

Regular mail is dying each year that Email gets more proficient and faster. There are a few things that Regular mail will always be able to hold on to. For example:
- Personal (someone has to sit down and write it by hand and there is only one)
- Goes directly to the house without having to worry on spelling name right (address first)
- Paper copy is sometimes better than digital copy (can't crash)
- Can send objects (limited to regular mail, for now.)

These are just a few things that separate EMAIL from REGULAR MAIL, but what is similar?

Well for starters, the concept of Email is based off of Regular Mail. It is designed to get information of a statement from one place to another without anyone else reading it along the way. Email has a "mailbox" and so does regular mail. These things are obvious, but did you know that there is a distribution center for EMAIL, just as there is for Regular Mail. Do not get wrapped up in email too much, as Regular mail is very important in our everyday life.

Email came from some place, so I urge you to try and keep some things "personal" between humans.

Have a Good day and may the battle continue!
