Denmark Ending Letter Deliveries Is a Sign of the Digital Times - Slashdot by

As PostNord prepares to cease letter deliveries, 1,500 of its red post boxes are being removed from Danish streets.

This just reads sad.

I was a bit surprised when I had physical letters arrive fairly consistently here in Finland. For most things, I still do. Posti delivers those letters here.

The Danish government has embraced a "digital by default" policy, and for more than a decade correspondence with the public has been carried out electronically. "We are facing this natural evolution of a digitalized society, earlier than maybe some other countries," Mr Pedersen explains. "In Denmark, we are maybe five or 10 years ahead."

Maybe we are.
