My first computer had no internet access, did it exist back then?
We were forced to use a mobile phone and it was even given for free with the washing detergent.
Did it brighten my life? No.
Was calling easier? Yes ( and soon after all phone booths disapoeared)
Was it cheaper? Yes? The monthly fee for the landline without costs for calling was more than what I spent on calling per year!
Did people stop engaging/connecting/became worse writers?
Yes, yes, yes.
SMS, the texting did it. No need to write properly, no need to pay a visit, noneedto pay attention.
We lie all the techniques make life easier but the biggest part of the time I switch something on (washing machine, printer, computer, fax, photocamera, phone, water cooker and so on)I wasted time waiting, waiting, keeping an eye on it and waiting.
How many hours per day the average screen user (TV included) waits for something to happen or an answer?).
