im curious here, im in my 30s rn, ive heard in the old days some people have differents way of communicating. like pager ( if im not wrong) SMS,MMS, although ive experienced SMS once back in my day to text my crush or my parents sometimes, but before that, how was your way to build your communication with your relatives, either your family or partner?
pardon my english, correct me if im wrong thanks, and please tell me your story, i want to read it
My mother is Asian and my father is British. My father had a pen pal that was a friend of my mother’s, and my mother also decided to write to him. I believe they wrote for about two years before deciding that if they want a relationship, they’ll have to get married. So my mother moved to Britain and they were married within the month.
Before the internet (and Facebook) became more accessible, my mother would write to her family often and occasionally call, which was expensive.
i guess communication is just another luxury thing back then. i remember back in my day, theres a place who sell coin for some minutes to use phone, and that phone was the only contact we had, there was once time the owner of the place come knocking at my door at 2am, to giving me news about my family who recently passed away…
