China's express delivery(快递) service is very large and fast. Every day, more than 500 million packages are sent all around the country. That means nearly 6,000 packages are sent each second. How does it work so quickly? Technology is the
key. In the past, workers did almost everything by hand. Now, machines and computers help with most of the work. This makes sending packages faster and cheaper than before.
First, people used to write addresses on the paper. Now, they use electronic orders. For example, when someone wants to send a package by using the phone, the computer system quickly plans the whole trip:which courier(快递员) will pick it up,which car will carry it, and what time it will arrive. This saves a lot of time. Also, machines now help sort (分类) packages. In sorting centres,packages move fast on the belts—about 240 every minute! Machines scan each one and send it to the right place. Not many people are needed here. In the past, many workers had to stand and sort everything by hand. It was much slower. What's more, some companies now use more advanced tools like robots and self-driving cars. These machines can deliver packages by themselves in many cities. They help save time and money.
All these changes show how technology makes China's express delivery fast and smart. It helps people get their things more quickly and easily.
