Even With The Internet, We’ll Still Need A Modern Postal System
Print This Post
We read about it everywhere. The age of the information superhighway is here, and we are now able to store, manipulate, and move data in ways that were impossible just a few years ago.
But even though e-mail, fax machines, and 800 numbers are entirely common, nothing can replace the value and utility of a system that delivers mail and packages to more than 148 million homes and businesses each day.
Fact is, it will take billions of dollars and many years to complete the information superhighway and even then physical deliveries through the Internet will remain impossible. Meanwhile, as this vast and important network is “under construction,” we must assure that our mail delivery system does not suffer neglect or disrepair.
Even as communication patterns change, we’ll still need a modern, efficient, and competitive postal system. Because until the day comes that the information superhighway reaches every home and every business in every state — and until you can have a pair of socks delivered through a modem — only mail will have the power “to bind the Nation together.”
