    You still need mailboxes for physical items

    Well you could have a system where the items were delivered to you by some delivering service :)

    Or with an argument that socializing is important then one could one house/area for item exchange.

    Not even for that.

    There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

    I mean did mobile phone replaced mail/e-mail? Lol

    How much email do you receive in your mailbox? And what does it look like? Do you get a ziploc of 1s and 0s or a sheet of UUEncoded jibberish that you have to manually type into your computer?

    Huh? What are you on about? Your email has an inbox you know that right?

     

    Why are you mingling the definition of physical mail with digitial mail to try to warp my meaning? Was that supposed to be comical? If it is all you will get is 1/10

     

    I was merely saying that the mail method of communication (unattended messaging) will always exist, whether in digital or physical form.
