These days, we do not send too many postcards. We have the e-mails or the phone multimedia options. Our messages could reach the destination instantly. Our pictures might have a more personal touch, because made by ourselves, sharing with the others our personal view of the world. But we are rarely making any such efforts, because we don't have an educated eye to look around us. Plus, we have thousand of (ideas less) ready-made hallmarks or postcards with stereotypical texts. We send it (instantly) sharing in fact our absence.
As for the old times postcards, they are displayed now in museums as this Walker Evans' exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts. What about an exhibition of electronic postcards in a virtual museum ?
