A MEANS OF COMMUNICATION

I have often wonder how people communicate in the past with their limited facilities, and they seems to manage without much of a problem. A snail mail will take a couple of days to arrive ,if it is a local address, and maybe weeks if it is from overseas. Today, we have emails and  sms which one can sent  message  across the globe at a click of a button. Telephones are so advanced these days.There so many with all kind of functions these days, and yet some do not appeciate it and don't even bother to communicate with their loved ones Surely it is not that difficult to lift up that phone and make a call, or press a few buttons on your cellphone ? Sad indeed. I am never good at waiting, so it is really a torture being told to wait for the call that might not happen at all.  Oh well...
