What would you say when you hear the word "mailbox"? Perhaps you’d say that it’s a kind of box in front of your granny’s house to store received mails. Or, as a digital-aware people, this word probably reminds you to check mails in your e-mail account.
Both of the responds above are correct. If you refer to Wiktionary, mailbox stands for both interpretation. But, I’ll talk about the traditional mailbox for now.
If you think that mailboxes fit only to traditional people, I’m afraid you’re wrong. Statistics in US Postal Service web site show that they has served about 201,128 million units of mails in 2008, not to mention the other millions of mails in the previous years and other special mailing services. This could mean a significantly important business of postal service in the digital age.
Some documents and messages can’t be easily replaced by digital service shipping for reasons, you can search for this issue on Internet search engine. In Indonesia, service bills and legal documents are usually sent by postal service and delivered in anytime even while you’re not at home. So, not only for grandmothers, whether you are as an individual or on behalf of business company, a mailbox in front of your house or office will keep valuable documents and mails sent to you.
