A Snail-Mail Alternative
February 12th, 2009 by ComputerBob
Compared to the speed and efficiency of digital communications, the snail mail delivery service provided by the U.S. Postal service appears to many people to be extremely slow, incredibly inefficient, ecologically destructive and wildly expensive.
As an alternative, one company now offers a paperless postal system.
At first glance, it might sound like a good idea to you.
But I think it’s a very bad idea that would open a huge can of worms related to privacy, security, spam, identity-theft and consumer’s rights.
Plus, just imagine all of the problems you’d run into if you ever moved to a different address.
What do you think?
