Cheap computerized robocalls replace "personal touch" sticky notes

Companies and individuals are always looking to save money. Gas, food and other costs have skyrocketed recently (and will stay that way), so like it or not, we're all about to become extremely budget minded in just about every financial area of our lives. Well, unless you're a cash-heavy CEO, that is.

If you happen to live in Brooklyn, you may have heard of some condo and/or apartment owners receiving email or automated phone call alerts when FedEx, UPS or the USPS leaves a package for delivery with the building owner or superintendent.

These rather cold and impersonal reminders really haven't replaced the "human touch" sticky note on the door or mailbox that preceded them, but I would expect them to soon.
