Quintessential, carrier pigeons
Delivering to many regions
We’ve come so far since then
No more, the quill and pen
Vast changes society then underwent
In the blink of an eye, a message sent
A telephone hanging on the wall
One per house and that was all
Now communication instantaneous
Everyone in the room simultaneous
Alexander Graham Bell’s photophone
Precursor to fibre-optics telephones

I was thinking in terms of my grandkids and kids. My son isn’t addicted to his stuff , he can put it down.

My daughter, she’s more distracted than the rest, so the kids reminded her of her rule, no electronics at the table. Mwahaha
A lovely tribute to our fast changing world. I remember my grandmother saying how she had lived through the popularity of radio through to the internet – a lot of changes in one lifetime – areal revolution.
It’s true isn’t it! Imagine what you’ll see in your lifetime.
