History and Future of the Postal Service

We explore the history of the U.S. Postal Service in American life, and its future in the digital age.

E-mail, electronic bill payment, and other forms of digital correspondence have greatly reduced our dependence on "snail mail". Yet the U.S. Postal Service remains the one government entity that touches our lives on a near-daily basis. We explore the history of the U.S. Postal Service in American life, and its future in the digital age.
