Changes made by Technology
If you have noticed, technology has made our lives a lot easier. We are now living a life of convenience and we're still innovating. Take our postal system for example; we are no longer required to go to the postal office to line up in long lines just to buy our postage stamps for our package to be delivered. But of course convenience comes with a price. But these costs will of course be cheaper in the long run if you will compute for its costs. Today's technology allows us to print our own postage stamps. We will only need a computer with an internet connection, a printer, weighing scale and adhesive stickers to print these postage stamps on. You can also use ordinary paper if you prefer to lower your costs more.
Buying online postage stamps allows you to import data such as addresses and names from an electronic address book. This kind of service also allows you to verify the receiver's address since there is already a database inside it. The rates are updated automatically and all you also have to pay is the exact amount for the package you are sending. That means no more extra stamps wasted.
These are the simple steps you will have to do when you use this kind of service.
First, you will have to prepare your package and weigh it. Then log on to your account and fill up the fields needed. These are the zip codes, name of the receiver and their address. You cannot proceed if the system cannot detect or match the address you will be sending if that address is not listed in its database. This is convenient since it will let you know that your package will be sent to the right address and will surely not be returned to you because the address is not correct. After finishing the fill up the other fields such as the weigh of your package and the method of delivery, you will now choose a stamp design from their stock postage stamp designs or if you prefer to customize it, you can. You can choose from your designs or even your photograph. That will surely impress the receiver. You will then pay for the postage stamp online. After paying, you will now be ready to print your postage stamps. No special printer or inks are needed. You can use your ordinary printers and ordinary inks. The postage stamps can be printed on ordinary paper or on adhesive papers. After printing, cut the postage stamps out then place it on your package. After going over all of these steps, you will then contact USPS to arrange someone from the local postal office to pick up your package.
Now that is one example of how technology has changed the way we live. Look around you, things have changed and it will continue to change for the better.
