112) Too much digital information

As it looks now, a lot of mail-artists are sucked into this digital world, and they realize there is just too much digital information to absorb. So they come to a point where they have to decide how to filter that information. Turn away from the digital sources, or just select only what interests you the most.....

As it turns out Google and Facebook are doing the same. They investigate your behavious and show you only what you indicated you liked. It is like a trap. You don't see all anymore, you just see a coloured version.

71) New Mail-Artists from the Web

The older generation Mail-Artists was sending out traditional mail and integrated the e-mail and Internet with their communication. There is now a new generation out there that discovered mail-art through the Internet and only after that started with the sending and receiving of mail-art. What made you choose for the slow and old-fashioned mail? You could send a digital images instead? What made you send out mail the old-fashioned way?

30) The older Mail-Artists Generation

Is seems that the 'older mail-art generation' isn't active on The Internet that much. Do they still send out mail-art and avoid the Internet. Did they stop? Did only the Computer-users survive the Internet-changes? What happened?

9) The Mail-Art Network Expanding or getting smaller?

There are two theories about the growth of the Mail-Art network. Some think the mail-art network is gradually getting smaller because of the increase of postage. Others say that is gets a boost because now more people have access to information about mail-art because of the Internet. What do you think. Did Internet make the network smaller or larger?

5) What happens to the mail-artists that are not online?

Some mail-artist that ar sending out mail for decades still aren't online. They find this electronic game not exciting. They form their own network I guess and still keep sending out. A new generation has appeared as well. They discover mail-art online and only after that bstart to send out e-mails and even later the envelopes and cards.

Because of the postal rates the size and weight is smaller sometimes of the pieces that are sent out, but the mail-boxes worldwide got impulses again because of the Internet.
