Fry Time: Email Vs. Post Mail

I went to the post office the other day. Well okay, I have not been there in quite a few months, okay fine years... But I have BEEN to a post office. Outside they have a kind of drive by Mailbox drop box thing where you just drop your mail in to have it sent off. Thats pretty clever. Email is kinda like that, with the ability to simply take your letter you just typed (Another bonus because I have pretty horrendous hand writing) and just put a address on there and send it off. Quick, sweet and to the point. But they're some things that for the time being should still be sent regular post (Like those holiday cards that everyone loves!) but it just seems silly to send a letter when you can just type up an email.  

But then we have the similarity between reviving mail and email as well. When you go to open your corner mailbox on any given day you can expect a wide assortment of letters, ads, flyers and other less savory things (Like that Electric bill :o). It can often be that way with your online mailbox as well, the types of things you can receive over the web are limited only by the imagination of the people sending them. That, I believe, is what makes Email so great, that although you may not want most of what you receive, there is still really no limit to what can be sent to you.
