Today we are going to talk a bit about how the Internet has affected the United States Postal Service. Ever since the invention of E-Mail, the number of first class letters that is sent has been shrinking.In fact since 2006, it is down by about 30%. In addition, most companies are pushing to try to get you to go paperless and only receive your bill statements online. This might be fine for some fol;ks but for many, including myself, I want my statements sent the way that it has been done for decades, through the Post Office.
