E-cards? Bleh, no thanks. That's one digital equivalent that got butchered early by Hallmark and extremely shitty graphics, and honestly, good riddance. (Though to be fair, I'm not a huge fan of actual cards, either.)
Rebates are silly as it is, though. I think Staples does it entirely digital now where you just go to a website and type in the receipt info. Now all they need to do is get rid of receipts, and then make all rebates "instant".
Faster for some, slower for some. I can type 3-5x faster than I can write by hand in either cursive or block writing, and when I type my notes, it's actually possible to read them at a later date!
