Forty two percent of people look forward to checking and reading regular mail, compared with 29 percent for the electronic version. While all these facts are presumably accurate, they still represent a masterly manipulation of the Real Truth. E-mail users know full well their chosen path is less secure. Almost as ridiculous is the idea that e-mail is less valuable because there is no way to retain its sentimental value. Admittedly, a letter from Bill Gates or Bill Clinton will bring more on the open market.
Paper mail is more secure and easier to save.
E-mail is more immediate and exciting. Well, of course. I take this rather personally. And I know that this too will change soon enough. So your habits change.
