Cool article that is spot on already in 1983.
Conventional mail is all but dead here, there are several months between we receive letters. I only remember getting 3 letter this year, and they are pretty rare, so it's something you notice.
How do you avoid the endless onslaught of junk mail?
Junk mail is not a thing outside US. We do get flyers though, but usually sticking a piece of paper on your mailbox saying "no flyers" is enough to never get them.
Cries in American.
