what was human interaction like before mobile phones and internet?
>>18118915Before mobile phones you called "a place" rather than "a person." It was normal to be unreachable, especially by advertisers and solicitors and scammers. We had payphones for emergencies and to arrange rides home.Before landline phones, communication that was not face to face went at the speed of the mail and longform and deliberate.

>>18118915We had paper emails
>>18118915Every person owned a loudspeaker, and at sunset every night you'd go out into the street and shout your bullshit opinions/hatred of anybody you disagreed with for any reason out loud so everybody could hear it - like an analog version of Twitter. Everybody is embarrassed about it though, so we completely scrubbed it from the record.
