I love technology and the media evolution that we are watching unfold around us. But the below is something that I think will happen less and less over time. Perhaps the flattening of our global economy will mean that people won’t need to cross oceans to have this kind of result. Either way, I’m proud to have been a part of this man’s life.

This letter came with my Sunday New York Times:

“Dear Friends,

The time has come! I am joining my beloved family in Brazil after six hard working years in America. My last day of delivering your “The New York Times” newspaper will be Saturday July 31, 2010. After that you will be served by another carrier.

I want you to know that I will be eternally grateful for your support. You definitely helped me giving my family a better future. My two kids will soon be graduating from a University in Brazil, and I can proudly say that they will have an honorable profession.

Thank you very much. I wish you all the best. God Bless America!

-Roberto”
