It's strange, (5) the postal service has been part of (6) (x) daily life for (7) (x) centuries. And suddenly, within (8) a single generation, (9) the postal system is on its way to becoming (10) the thing of (11) the past. These days, (12) a few people send (13) the letters.
Today, (14) an email is (15) (x) far more common way to communicate with (16) the friends and (17) the family. It's also (18) a faster and cheaper way to communicate. When I send (19) an email to (20) a friend in (21) a distant country, (22) a friend will receive (23) an email almost immediately. What's more, I have the ability to attach (24) a photograph, (25) a video, or (26) an MP3. And I don't even have to buy (27) an expensive stamp. But (28) the world is changing quickly. In (29) a decade or two, we might all be using (30) a totally different kind of technology to communicate.
