While we don't have that yet, we do have some pretty good technology. Unless you are living under a rock, you probably have an email account. That electronic mail is a quick way to get in touch with people and communicate with them. However, it doesn't stop the need for the United States Post Office.

Make your way through all of these questions and see if you can join the USPS team!
