between 1940 and 1960 the amount of mail doubled in the United States that's largely because companies begin using computers to send automated mailings soon the flood of mails sent by banks advertisers and other businesses was overwhelming postal workers the Postal Service needed a solution in 1963 the zone improvement plan divided the country into ten regions and assigned five digits increasing in specificity from region two large sorting centers to smaller post offices where previously male workers had to figure out which post office went with which address now the zip code provided that information for them the government promoted the new system with the cartoon character mr. zip and a new song from the zip code lovin band called the swinging six and it worked by 1969 83% of Americans were using zip codes in between 1971 and 1980 the number of pieces of mail that were processed per year increased by 17 billion but the system was limited zip codes are made from digits unlike the alphanumeric Canadian system which can encode more information per character as America grew zip codes got longer in 1983 a four digit suffix was added to denote specific addresses like city blocks or large buildings while this update improved delivery it requires zip codes to be continually managed to reflect changing destinations and delivery routes instead of a system dependent on structures a geo coded zip code would be dependent on place this gives every point on earth a unique permanent address and geo coded deliveries can be sent to specific pickup points at an address more specificity would also benefit industries that use zip codes for purposes other than sending them like analyzing data in Britain the Postal Service has already geo coded their system and blended Realtors have used that data to make more detailed maps of housing prices without Geo codes American addressing is limited to zip codes and building numbers any further detail has to be written with the Geo code sending mail directly to the Oval Office is as easy as remembering three eight point eight nine seven three six zero three minus seven seven point zero three seven four one six two or not that easy complex numbers are hard to remember so systems have been created to simplify Geo codes one system called natural area code converts latitudes and longitudes into an alphanumeric Nakba which is better but still not great a different system uses words which we tend to remember more easily than characters a company called what three words has divided the world into 57 trillion squares and given each square a unique string of 3 words each combination of words goes with a specific latitude and longitude if our postal service used what 3 words you could send your letter directly to rich soup noble and the president could pick it up at the window of the office while language makes geocodes easier for humans machines prefer to process numbers so the zip code probably will evolve in ways we won't notice right now computers add delivery instructions by converting zip codes into a barcode that is printed on a shipment in the future a similar process might incorporate geocoding which would probably leave us with one question if we don't need to learn a new system do we still get a new song
