The development
of increasingly cutting-edge technology gives widespread influence to various
fields. One of them is the emergence of a variety of new technology products
that can further alleviate the work of the community.
Not
infrequently the technology also changes the lifestyle of society. As a result,
some companies that once had great success now have to go out of business.
The largest
British postcard maker, for example. Named J Salmon, the company that has been
around since 1880 will be closed in December 2017.
The reason is
simple. The development of technology and social media has unwittingly made the
habit of writing and sending postcards increasingly marginalized.
Quoting
theguardian , Wednesday (27/09/2017), the growing technology makes people more
use social media such as instagram and whatsapp to send a message. This
ultimately has a major impact on the postcard industry.
In addition,
managers J Salmon, brothers Charles and Harry Salmon say, many people who
currently tend to take a few more vacations. That is, they tend to go home
faster before their postcards arrive.
"Increasing
challenging trading conditions and changes in the environment and market size
have had an impact on the uncertainty related to the sustainability of this
business," said the company's fifth generation.
Postcard sales
reportedly dropped dramatically from 20 million sheets in 25 years ago, to just
5 million by 2017.
