The
emergence of electronic communications such as email and the social media
communications and the advent of the ever present cellphone and paging has
resulted in written communication becoming a lost art.
Add
to that is the pressure for using and the public’s acceptance of electronic
transactions. Utilities and Credit Card issuers (Banks) have discouraged
payments by mail with requiring entering long account numbers on checks.
The
Postal Service is no longer the prime means of contact, and thus has been in
increasing financial problem over the years \
To
counter this it has tried to be competitive in parcel deliveries with UPS and
Fed Ex. The Postal Service has gone as far as to become a sub-contractor for
the large delivery services. That may be cost effective for UPS etc., but how
can it be for the Post Office?
Perhaps
this can shed some light on why the Postal Service is in difficulty. Note that
it took a week for the package to go from Secaucus to Plainfield
