OK, Think About What You Just Wrote

In an otherwise good story on plans by the USPS to avoid closing many rural post offices, the reporter offers up this gem of a paragraph:

Among the concerns of rural residents is they lack reliable Internet service, so they must depend on letters and packages for such important items as mail-order prescription drugs.

I rely heavily on a small rural post office: the mailbox at the end of my driveway got knocked down so many times I got tired of putting it back up, and it's a terrible place to hold packages. They're not safe and it's hard to keep anything sizable out of the weather at the end of my 150-yard-long farm driveway. So I have all my mail come to a PO Box at the nearby post office. It's a tiny branch that's had the same two lovely ladies on staff since I moved out here about 18 years ago.

I also have very poor internet service. There is absolutely no suitable broadband option available to me -- no cable and no DSL, and the nature of my work makes satellite internet untenable.

But apparently I'm farther behind the times than I thought! If I'm interpreting that paragraph correctly, if you have reliable internet service, you don't have to depend on letters and packages for such important items as mail-order prescription drugs! Apparently, with cutting-edge reliable, internet service you can actually receive your mail-order prescription drugs through the internet! What an amazing world we live in!
