Email vs Postal Service

For my day to day and up to the minute communications, I prefer using Email because I can send anytime without going somewhere else. Postal mail is popularly known as snail mail because it takes days or even months for the receiver to procure the documents, compared to email wherein it will take only a few seconds to transmit the messages to the other party. With email you can bombard you recipients with plethora of messages and pictures of cute kittens without outrightly paying any single cents (except for the monthly fee for internet, of course!). Whereas in postal mail, everytime you send a letter, it will cost you a stamp. Furthermore, if you put some more stuff in the envelope like picture photos and heavily ornamented cards, you have to pay additional fees for those. However, postal mails have sentimental values, more often timeless, treasured and cherished, especially if it's a hand-crafted, handmade card or a handwritten letter. Email is somewhat artificial because aside from the fact that it is elctronically produced, email messages are very vulnerable to deletion whether unintentionally, accidentally or unknowingly with just one click of the mouse.
