On the other hand, traveling was not so simple - you couldn't just carry your mobile phone and pull up Google Maps once you got there - you had to know where you were going and either buy the maps or print out maps beforehand. Meeting up with someone also involved a lot of planning and sometimes you go to the meeting point and then go home having missed each other because you misunderstood the exact location.
- Scoundreller 7y agoAt least people learned the importance of giving good descriptions the first time in real life. Too much these days feels like people just leave a message prompt and expect you to return contact and fill in all of their blanks. E.g. my telephone messages will specify who I am, why I’m calling, what I’m looking for, when to contact me and my phone number (always twice!). Dunno if others were any better in the past, or if I’m bitter about forums that cater to less advanced users that chronically leave out critical details.
