Postage hasn't gone up...yet. The U.S. postal service has requested an increase in postage that will increase the price of a First-Class stamp by 2 cents, from 44 cents to 46 cents. If approved, this change will take effect on January 2, 2011.
They are still valid for use as postage as long as they add up to the proper postage. If you check USPS regulations Postage due, special delivery and certified mail stamps are NOT valid as payment for postage.
Postage stamps typically go in the upper right-hand corner of an envelope. This is the standard placement for stamps on envelopes when sending mail.

There is no reason to. As long as they add up to the correct amount, they can be used for postage. You can purchase smaller value stamps to add to them to make up the remaining amount.
those stamps are forever stamps they will always coast the same as other stamps
It is expected that there will be an increase. Most of the First Class stamps currently available are Forever stamps. They will be valid after the postage rate goes up.
Yes, every country uses postage stamps.
US postage stamps do not expire -- they are always worth face value as postage.
The stamps have to add up to 45 cents.
In the US postage stamps are always valid. You do still have to have enough to cover the current postage cost. And Forever stamps are always valid for one ounce of first class mail, regardless of the actual cost.
No, they did not exist then. Great Britain introduced the first postage stamps in 1840.
