Q. Write an essay on "Life before cell phones
Answers
Answer:
If you remember life before cell phones and electronics, you probably possess the ability to entertain yourself (if necessary) and relate to what you are about to read. Prior to society being electronically enlightened, people relied on their own abilities to remain mentally active and socially engaged. There was no texting so having a conversation actually required the spoken word. Somewhere along the line, society decided that it was necessary for constant and instant gratification,
Ideally, the world would revolve around you and meet your every need, including 24/7 entertainment. Sadly, that is not, and was never the case! If you wanted to talk to a neighbor, you walked to their house and knocked on the door. If you wanted to communicate with someone that was not a neighbor, you called them on the family’s ONLY rotary dial, landline telephone, which usually had a cord that could stretch around the block, or sent them a handwritten letter; affixed a $.05 postage stamp and deposited it into a U.S. Mailbox, which could be found on any corner. There was no immediate gratification and we eagerly awaited a response. There were no cell phones so if you wanted to call someone, they had to be home to answer the phone; unless of course, they were already talking to someone else in which case you got a busy signal. Party lines were not uncommon but it was a pleasure to have your own line.
Years later, call-waiting was invented allowing you to take a call when you were already on the phone. Even more mind-blowing than that, answering machines and caller ID came along and then you knew who was calling you; giving you the ability to decide if you wanted to answer or return a call you may have missed!
If you were a kid, you looked forward to the weekend to forget about school/homework and just wanted to have fun with your friends. There was no internet so there was no competition with Minecraft, Tetris, Candy Crush or Call 4 Duty! Football/baseball, birthday parties and sleepovers were of utmost importance! When the weekend and/or free time presented itself, the standard for people you thought you were compatible with was overlooked if no one else was available. Making it work was sometimes the beginning of new friendships.
Years ago, when kids were not in school or doing mandatory household chores, they were outside playing from sunup to sundown. Parents sent their kids out into the neighborhood to play (with no way of contacting them) and trusted that they would come home either when it was dark or when they got hungry. Kids ran around the neighborhood with bare feet all day and left a ring around the tub after a bath time
