No scare, it’s just the internet adding another hide on its wall. Bookstores, record stores, the Post Office. The unintended consequences of technological progress.

"wall. Bookstores, record stores, the Post Office. The unintended consequences of technological progress."

“There are some structural issues with our economy where a lot of businesses have learned to become much more efficient with a lot fewer workers. You see it when you go to a bank and you use an ATM. You don’t go to a bank teller. Or you go to the airport and you’re using a kiosk instead of checking at the gate. So all these things have created changes in the economy.” Barack Obama

Yep. Other than some bills and junk mail, I don’t get anything thru the USPS any more. My own postage bill used to exceed easily $1K/year; once we began using email it went down to under $100/year.
