Email vs. Postal service
E-mails and the postal service are similar in many ways, but they are also different in some ways. One way that they are the same is that they both send information from one place to a final destination, they also both follow specific routes, determining on the traffic at the time. With that last one, the postal service usually has the same rout that it takes each day, but the e-mail does it in a different way. E-mail rips the message into a bunch of different pieces, and sends them in different ways, meeting up at the end. They also both have established protocols to follow, and they both can also have junk mail. Another major difference between the two is speed. E-mail is extremely fast, when it comes to speed, much faster than the postal service. There are also many stops along the way to the final destination, for both. But thet also results to speed, because email does this extremely quick. With both email and the postal service, they can both "bounce" mail back to the sender. When it comes to email, you do not need a stamp, but you do need a stamp with the postal service. The stamps pay for the service to the postal service. With email you don't pay direct, like with stamps, but you do pay in other ways.
