Storing paper mail uses more physical space than storing e-mail. However, Paper is a reliable storage medium and is not inherently dependent on any modern technologies. Documents printed on most common paper and left undisturbed for one hundred years will be easily readable. In contrast, most electronic storage degrades much faster. Worse, devices that can read a particular electronic storage medium may be difficult to find and use even a decade or two after their introduction. There are efforts to renew interest in paper mail, such as the creation of Mail Art - physical Art that is distributed and swapped around the world. Snail mail is also a term used in reference to Penpalling . Snail mail penpals are those penpals that communicate with one another through the postal system, rather than on the internet which is becoming the standard form of communication for penpals.
