Chistmas cards of the future may be transmitted electronically . The post office is studying the use of space technology for agile campaign of endless amount of mail between widely separated points .
To do this , microwave place would be put up . Envelopes would be open automatically , and the automatic “ fingers ” would remove the contents and discover them to a digital scanner . Impulses from the card or varsity letter might be beamed to a postal planet or even the synodic month , bounced back to the address point , reproduced there in the original printing or script , sealed in a ejection seat and delivered . All this might be done minutes from the time the communicating first arrive at a post office thousands of mile away .
