Listening to "stand by me" by Oasis right now.
Today's Topic.
The Meaning of LIFE.
Life, is based on-----
haha, just joking.
lets talk about mail.
Mail has been an integral part of our lives since the 1950s. Right after the war, most phone lines were destroyed but people had to find a way to communicate between long distances, and turned to mail instead.
it was during that time that snail-mail's unshaken foundation was set.
up to today, even though Fax machines, the Internet, Phone lines are much faster than snail mail, snail mail is still widely used today, even in government sectors. The reason for its popularity in the government sector is because of security.
Fax machines, the Internet, Phone lines can be easily tapped-into by a foreign subject. This is because the above facilities are based on wave-lines. These waves can be received by almost any electrical board, and thats the reason why you seem to hear fuzzy or buzzing noises near electrical appliances at times. If the electrical board was well-tuned to received and INTERPRET the waves, then the information would be accessed by foreign subjects EASILY, without letting the Original Receiver and Sender know that the information was being tapped into. This does not allow security at all.
Taking a look at letters and envelopes, we know that the information was accessed if we see that the letter or envelope was opened or tampered with. Each Official letter that holds confidential information has a bar-code, this practise is not only used in government sectors, but in big companies as well. Once the recipient recieves the letter, the recipient will find a way to inform the Sender about the letter and repeat the bar-code, and thus checking whether the letter was the original authentic one.
this practise helps to counter one big defect of snail-mail. The Letter holding the information could have been opened and the letter replaced, thus making the tampered letter seem as if it was the original, however, the replaced letter doesnt not have the specific bar-code, and thus, the recipient will know that the letter was tampered with.
the recipient can then track down the route in which the letter took before reaching its destination and find wout what happened to the letter. This service is made available by the post office.
