Comment on It still blows my mind how ubiquitous communication is now. I just had someone message me instantly from a ship in the Mediterranean, while I'm on a flight in the US.

Early Chinese immigrants had to write letters to get physically carried across the pacific ocean… which took like months I think. I don’t think a telegraph cable even exist across the ocean back then.

Now I can just video chat my aunts in China in HD in real time… (tbh I haven’t even talked to them since I left when I was 8, I only ever like briefly say a few words when mom was calling)

So bizzare to be born in this time period…

Like I could just summon any information on a glass thingy whenever I get curious
