budget trends: Post Office Branchs closing....yours could be next! - 08/08/09 02:05 PM
It is no secret email has cut into the mail...or in another word...snail mail!  As the Internet grows so does the use of email.  Nearly any company of any size now uses email to communicate amongst it's employees and with clients.  When you consider email can arrive in minutes versus days it seems pointless except for critical documents to be mailed.  Even then the Electronic Communications Act has impacted important documents.

Today we are seeing more people shopping on line, looking for homes on line, dumping the toys that suck gas and looking for alternative sources of entertainment.
