I think I'm in lower age bracket so I have to laugh when people say it's so '1980's' to go to the post office and retrieve mail. In my case, back home, sure I could go paperless but I'm a big believer in frequenting downtown or Main St. businesses. Also having face to face interactions with my neighbors and community. Some prefer TOTV type interactions or electronic communication. I brought this point up in a different post recently...when was the last time someone had their identity stolen or account hacked or compromised using snail mail? Sure we're all vulnerable but again, lets have a balance....and not make it so easy for those who have different intent
