Yes, kiddies: back in time there was no smartphone and no emails to teenagers to communicate, and even using "codes" to write to friends was embarrassing because everyone would see that you were hiding something.
Then a whole world of steganography appears :)
- yesenadam 8y agoWell, there was writing in invisible ink (e.g. lemon juice) in the whitespace of apparently normal letters. Or having the first word of each sentence spell your secret message. Etc. Which reminds me, when at school we had code-names for various drugs so they could be freely spoken of within earshot of anyone, including parents/teachers. Claude = cigarettes, Harry = alcohol, George = marijuana etc hehe. Worked very effectively.
