I still remember when I wanted to contact to my friends to other town/country, I had to write a letter by hand. Letter! Can you imagine?

:exhausted

Then buy stamp and looking for post box and wait maybe weeks to get letter as answer.

Difficult?

But it was so sweet receive letters from friends and read them again and again and think they have make a lot of work to contact me.

Sweet time actually. Today by internet it is so fast... and easy.
 
I am actually old enough to remember the days of "snail mail" also. The internet really didn't become popular until I was in college.

*old guy voice* We didn't have Facebook when I was growing up. When we wanted to talk to someone, we called them or went over to their house. We didn't have email or the internet. When we wanted to research something, we looked in a BOOK. You kids know what books are, don't you? If we wanted to watch a movie, we rented a VHS tape (we didn't even have DVD's back then either) or went to the movie theater. We didn't have YouTube. *stop old guy voice*

I think that's.. hey, why am I still talking in the old guy voice. I said STOP!

OK, that's better. I think that's enough for now.

Oh, oh, it's remind me to my young age when I often received letters from some girls.

I still remember, few months after I left my city, Bandung, to study in Yogyakarta, I was very surprised when I received a letter from a girl in Bandung. She was my classmate in high school. I replied her letter, then she sent me next letters, again and again.

But now she never send me a letter again. Not because I never meet her again, not because today is internet era, but because ...................... now she is my wife. ;D
 
My mom had one of those. I remember the sounds well.

Click click click click... DING!

Slide... click click click click.. DING!
 
Does anyone still remember time before mobiles? Or time before MCDonalds? Here were just some snack grills with simple hot dogs.

Mustard or ketchupt? No salads. No garlic.

Oh... missing old times.
 
My granddad teached me how to know flowers in forest by name and survive in there, how to fish even by bare hands.

Today grandads advice how to use facebook.

In 70's I lived in a small city. I had telephone in my house, the number was 360, only three digits, and without area code.

How to use that telephone ? picked it up, and I automatically connected to the operator. Then I made a request, in example "please connect me to number ......." less than one minute, I got connection. However, if i wanted intercity connection, at first I made a request, closed the phone, and wait around one hour until I got phone call from local operator "your connection has been connected".

That's really funny. lol. But it's so true. People don't use cash so much nowadays. They aren't so ready with the coins and all in their pockets. So that's bad news for beggars. Oh dear. Poor things.

Jazakallah khair Endy, for another one of your interesting posts. lol. Highly enjoyable this one. :)
 
Funny stuff. I remember when I knew where people I was acquainted with lived instead of just their cell phone numbers and email addresses.
 
Does anyone remember rotary phones? I had a friend of mine in high school whose parents still had a working rotary phone.

This might make you weep like it made me weep when I read it. There is now an entire generation of college students that:

1. Don't know what the Cold War is/was.
2. Don't remember the USSR
3. Germany has always been one country
4. 80's music has always been "classic rock"

I think about that now and it makes me cry at how old I have become That's the real tragedy here, the fact that I am officially "an old dude"..

imsad :(
