Have you heard of “Snail Mail?”
I’m sure most of us have. “Snail Mail” is the mail that comes to our mail box- not our email inbox, but that metal box attached to most houses or in a P.O. box.
At one point in time “snail mail” was one of the very few ways to communicate with someone who was far away. Letters sometimes took days to weeks to months to arrive to its destination.
Thus the term “Snail Mail” was coined. If you think about it, the anticipation of receiving a little letter in the mail is kind of romantic idea.
But this form of communication is dwindling… and it doesn’t need to!
While technology is a glorious part of our daily lives, keeping an old staple around is not a bad idea.
