Is E-mail Always Better than Snail Mail? For many of us, turning on the computer and checking for e-mail messages has become as much a part of our daily routine as a trip to the mailbox.

The upper stream had fishes, more lichen, insects, snails and crabs. In the lower stream, we only saw snails under the rocks, comparatively less lichen and crab holes in the sand along the coast of the stream so we deduced that crabs can also be found in the lower stream. After doing some research, we have found out more about each

At one point or another, we have all held and opened a piece of mail. Whether it was a birthday card, a letter from a friend, or even a bill, we have all held a piece of paper that was sent from somewhere else. Even in the age of Facebook and email, it is likely that you have held a piece of mail and most likely, the way it got from point A (the person sending the mail) to point B (the person receiving the mail) was through the United States Postal Service, or the USPS.

Volume of first class mail peaked and has declined due to the increasing use of email and the World Wide Web for correspondence and business transactions.

as our moms, dads, and grandparents will reminisce on the good old days. A time when there was no Internet so one had to read the newspaper for updates, write rather than type during class, go to the library for research, knock for a friend, use snail mail, etc. For me such thoughts have made the understanding of the phrase, “the good old days” quite blurred. The fact is the so-called “good old days” was a time that seems astronomically different, slow paced, and quite frankly dull compared to today

This new mail system that the people of Jefferson created included putting brass numbers of the house on the door so they could organize where the mail was going. Miss Emily did not like the fact of putting something new on her house and she did not like the fact of a new system coming in. She then told the people that she did not want the numbers put on her door and did not participate in the new mail system in Jefferson. In her earlier years
pictures, but to them, it brought them right into whatever they were watching, as if they were actually there. One thing that made the huge world a whole lot smaller was the invention of the telephone. Before it, people had to wait for weeks for the mail to transfer letters back and fourth between them and their friends or relatives, but now they could just pick up the phone and dial the number of the person that they wanted to talk to. The telephone has become a major part of each of our lives. &nbs
