Technology has come a long way and we take some of the conveniences that we have for granted. Starting with communication services such as phone services, emails, and internet. Back in the day, there was dial up internet. It was pretty amazing how patiently we waited and suffered through the beeps and tones while the computer connect to the internet. There was also no email which meant that people had to type out or write letters. Communication was a lot slower. Not to mention more expensive. International phone calls cost a pretty penny and you had to wait for the connection to be made. There was also no caller ID. You have to be brave every time you picked up that phone and asked hello because you did not know who was on the other line. Computers also do a lot of calculations for us these days. There were no spreadsheets to run calculations and even projections. It will be interesting to see what technology becomes obsolete in the next 20 years or so.
