The idea of mail & the postal service has been around for a very long time however today our more modern look on mailing has turned to electronic mailing or e-mail for short. When comparing the two ways of communication there are several differences among them both as well as similarities but for now we will focus on what makes the two unique from eachother.
Postal Mail is different than e-mail by what process it must endure, how long it takes, & resources that are utilized in making the mail itself. First of all paper, ink, & many more materials are used to create mail, without it this would simply not exist. The postal service itself is what moves our mail, a transporting service is crucial otherwise we would not have postal mail. Lastly to go from point A to point B is anywhere from a short to sometimes a lengthy process depending on where it has to travel, so amount of time upon arrival is a variable among postal mail.
Now to look at e-mail differences we look at pros & cons of efficiency, risk, & also how long it takes. Cons with efficiency are highlighted by making the mistake to correctly type in the address of the reciever, by doing so you will not send the mail to the correct location, however an upside to e-mail efficiency is that if you do have the recievers address typed in correctly it is a guaranteed delivery (unless of course there is an issue with electronics!!) With e-mail you have to understand that virusus can pose a threat on the user by creating risk with unknown senders of e-mail that you have recieved. Finally how long it takes to deliver e-mail is by far the most effiecient way in sending mail seeing that it takes a matter of seconds (if that)!!
