I would assume that the new reliance on e-mail grew out of the abject failure of the USPS (aka "snail mail"), and that the failure of the USPS to generate revenue grew out of the advent of e-mail............

Do ya think we will ever see the development of e-medicine?????  Or should I ask, have we already seen it, in the form of telemedicine and robotics.  And will we see, one day, the absence of any further need for bedside atttendence by a real physician?  

I strongly doubt it, but it IS fun to muse.

> left out the other 'wonderful' social system...US postal service...

==> When it comes to nationally sponsored bodies he may have also left out the US Military and the judicial system, not only the USPS... There are success stories and failures, be they among capitalist entities or "socialised" ones or "federalised" ones; likely therefore that it is the entities which are at fault, not the sysem within which they live. The UK postal office is not held up as an example of success either.
