E-mail is the new mail

Think about it. You have to send someone something written. You have two options. One is email, the new mail. The other is mail, the old mail. You need it to get there fast. Some people say email is faster. Some people think mail is faster. I want to bust the myth that mail is faster.

Using mail, the old mail: it's pretty slow. You have to get out a pen and get out an envelope and a stamp and paper. You have to write a letter with a pen. The pen could run out of ink and the only spell check is mental. Then you have to fold the letter and lick the stamp and close the envelope and send off the letter on an airplane or with the Pony Express or whatever the fuck.

Using email, the new mail, on the other hand: you just type that shit out and send it. Easy as pie.

I'm not saying slow is always bad (see my later post - Premature Ejaculation: Not a Turn-on). But when you send something, you want the fastest way. Email, my friends, is the fastest way.
