Blog 10: From Shouts to Skype

Before

After

Ways of talking were limited only to personal contact or screaming

Talking is possible now through web chatting, talking on the phone

Mails were sent via telegrams or the pony express

Mails are now electronic “email” or through texts

Advertisements were through message boys

Advertisements are now advertised in the television

Communicating has sure evolved through the years compared to our parents old times to our electronic age, their lives seemed so boring, simple, and so past tense. The aspect is still the same, but the only difference is the way of communicating. One way is the way of talking. in the “old times” people used to communicate when they see each other personally, or my favourite scream at the person on the other side; now, we can talk to people almost half way around the world if we wanted to by means of mobile phones and web cam chatting. The way we send mails is another difference. In the past, mails were sent through telegrams or the ever so popular pony express: which would take days or even weeks to reach its destination. However, in this generation, we do it little more different and a whole lot faster, we send our mails through the internet that could get to its receiver in mere seconds texting is also another mean of sending messages. Ads were big then and now, in the past advertisements were done through spreading of word, such as the messenger boys. Nevertheless, in recent years we developed electronic billboards who could advertise not one, two, or three but more than five ads. Technology has surely made a huge impact in our generation today, but we should always remember that personal communication is always better than though technologically advantages.
