Generational difference

The older generation (say 75+) tended to be more respectful of authority. So "I've come to read your meter" at the door. Or "I'm phoning to tell you that there is a scary virus on your computer" is more likely to get a result.

Whereas, these days getting an email saying you have a parking violation is all too plausible. Electronic car parking systems and deliberately confusing parking signs means we can all trip up and catch a fine. And some of these notifications may come to your email address or phone.
