THEN & NOW

I rather miss the days where corded phones are the main mode of communications between you and your friends… Why is that so?


THEN
Gatherings with your friends will be arranged a few days beforehand. People will be looking forward for that day as so much “efforts” are put in getting everyone together. You are waiting for the arrival of that day and not forgetting about those phone calls that remind you about the gathering.

NOW
You sent out dozen of SMS, hoping that someone will just be as free as you are. You are supposed to be happy as long as you receive replies regardless of “K…”, “Not free leh~”, “Got who huh?” etc. You should also be prepared that some of this SMS seems to get lost somehow. What happened? Cookie monster eat up the alphabets I guessed.


THEN
By any means, most will reach early or on time for a gathering that was arranged beforehand. All will wait at that very same spot until all have arrived.

NOW
15 to 30 min you will start to receive lots of SMS telling you “Hey! I’m still at home”, “I will be at a bit late”, “Oh gosh! Are we meeting at XXXXpm?” No matter what SMS you receive, you just hope no SMS will turn out to be “erm… think I’m not going anymore…”


Think we (including myself) are all pampered by the advancement of technology. What to do?


We just have to accept the fact.
