Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself.
Oh, wait - nevermind. Chances are, in today's technology-reliant/driven/consumed/obsessed society, Mr. Rogers and his overly-friendly mailman, Mr. McFeely, would, no doubt, be facebook friends and twitter buddies, giving Speedy Delivery! a new (and much-improved, depending on who you ask) meaning. But we can't deny the value of face-time and all that is lost when eye contact is replaced by computer screens, and voices with computer keys. In a world characterized by the latter, we'd likely be questioning McFeely's motives based on his screen name rather than sharing in Mr. Roger's overzealous joy upon the delivery of his latest gadget, from which our understanding of all things basic-science, technology, friendship-first began. Enjoy!
