that means you are out of date. People use post-office only when they are forced to or have no option. As for washington post well they can write whatever they want to. People are migrating all the time to urban centers. In 1947 70 percent of people lived in villages now the percentage is around 55 and is decelarating fast. It is not hard to imagine that in the future majority of people will be living in cities and in that cases postal service will surely be dead. I know it is in-thing to somehow romanticize poor and say India is under-achieving. But all developments take time and some help from outsiders, all countries have been through it including US.
