I am from SE Asia and postal system is non-existent to most people in my native country. Last time I sent anyone a letter was to my grandfather 30 years ago.
I came to the US 5 years back, and I still marvel at how crucial USPS is to the growth of tech and economy here. You see, back in my country an entrepreneur would have to tackle the last-mile delivery problem using their own fleet. Only in last 2-3 years ride-sharing service has become commonplace in major metropolis and as a result facebook-based housewife-run boutique shop businesses have boomed. But here in the US, you could always stick an address on a parcel and forget about it.
