Good morning,
Have you ever wondered how life would be without the advances that the world has seen in communication technology?
Those who grew up in the period before the new millennium got a taste of the isolation people lived in before the world turned into a global village.
To make a phone call, one had to find a phone booth and hope that someone would be near the booth on the other end of the call, then wait for them to go find the person you wanted to talk to.
Texting was done in the form of letters back then, which would take days to deliver to recipients, who would then write back and the process would start all over again.
Internet platforms such as YouTube and other social media sites were yet to be invented, and people would share information through evening hangouts or Chama meetings after church.
As deplorable as this kind of life sounds, the society back then was pleasantly vibrant, since interpersonal interaction was the fastest means of information gathering.
Today, people have become isolated thanks to mobile phones and apps which let one communicate, learn, date and even order meals and drinks without stepping a foot outside their door.
If it were not for the Coronavirus pandemic, we would say we miss the good old days, but for now, thank God for technology!
