If you ever feel down, and think social media sucks, just think of how much long-distance and cell phone calls used to cost (I seem to remember mine being several hundred a month in early 90s), and how much effort it took to write a letter, buy a card, and stamp and envelope, take it to the mailbox and then wait weeks… and before you say “Well it meant more to go through that effort” just remember back then you would have never received an observation like this, nor would you know a small fraction about your extended family that you do now.
It is remarkable.
