e-mail is almost instant. postal mail you have to have patience for a wait. you have a monthly plan for e-mail having one bill a month, you have to buy stamps and make sure you have bought enough. also you don't have to stand in line to send a letter, you can type away on the computer. the down side could be that something could go wrong with your computer any time. also, lettes could be lost in the mail. things like that

If you want to use an analogy that goes hand in glove with the mail theme, e-mail is like the telegraph, and postal mail is like the pony express. The telegraph allowed a message to be sent hundreds of miles away instantaneously, just like e-mail does today. The disadvantages of the telegraph were similar to the disadvantages in e-mail, the main disadvantage being the impersonal nature of the correspondence.

Comparing email to postal mail is like comparing the speed of light to the speed of a mail truck.

Email is like your embarrassing tactless cousin - too easy to send and impossible to retrieve.
