For those who want to consolidate all the information inside the personal computer, the trouble is the preservation of the paper mail. Many people already receive a considerable amount of privacy via e-mail, but still the paper mail is not likely to disappear.

In Finland, it seems that experiments of services that will scan such paper mails and convert them into PDFs and allow them to browse online seem to start.

Finland Launching National Pilot Program To Open and Scan All Snail Mail | Popular Science

In Finland, in order to improve delivery efficiency and reduce CO2, we will start experiments on services that make all mails PDF formable online.

The mail is opened and scanned by staff first, it becomes PDF file, and the user browses it via PC or mobile phone. Actual mail will then be delivered twice a week along with parcels and so on. Also, there are options to distribute unnecessary direct mail etc and discard them. The service started on 12th April, and currently it is said that 126 pairs of families and 20 companies will participate in the exam.

Itella, a state-owned enterprise that is conducting a postal service in Finland, said the program is an experiment to confirm the effectiveness of the service, all work is done at strictly security facilities and privacy is strictly observed I have promised, but it seems that discussions are taking place in Japan

In the US, similar private project "Earth Class Mail"Has already acquired tens of thousands of users, it is unusual for the state-run service to provide services that conflict with the secrets of such communications. Will it be able to achieve similar success?
