E-mail has somewhat of an advantage since it is sent over a computer network; usually any error in sending the letter is caused by the person sending the mail. E-mail is never lost or stolen since it is always sent to the defined address. E-mail is not all that private since it is sent through multiple servers, and the server administrators can read and copy the message and its attachments if they wish to. E-mail has no authentication that the message has been sent from the person claiming to send the E-mail. The postal service has, on the other hand, more problems with its reliability. Error is not uncommon since humans are sorting and delivering the envelopes and packages. Letters and packages are delivered to the wrong people occasionally with this service. Thieves or grumpy postal workers can easily steal mail or packages from mailboxes if they feel like it. The postal service has no guarantee that a package will not be damaged or lost during shipping, and insured unless it is sent registered at an additional cost. Authentication with mail is more valid, since a signature can be seen and tamper devices can be placed on the envelope or package to help show any tampering of the letter or

At one point or another, we have all held and opened a piece of mail. Whether it was a birthday card, a letter from a friend, or even a bill, we have all held a piece of paper that was sent from somewhere else. Even in the age of Facebook and email, it is likely that you have held a piece of mail and most likely, the way it got from point A (the person sending the mail) to point B (the person receiving the mail) was through the United States Postal Service, or the USPS. In the past decade, the postal service has experienced a decreased volume in their letter mail.

Peter Rorvig, a United States postal worker in Zirconia, North Carolina, talks some about the USPS's struggles and the involvement that Congress has with the USPS in his blog "More Normal than Not." This passage raised two outside questions, exactly what is the postal service trying to do to solve this decline in funds and how much is Congress actually involved with the USPS?
