We do live in a lucky time. Remember the days when you had to make a toll call booking to ring someone more than 10 kiliometers from home. Party lines, analog phones, relays at the exchange getting stuck and it was not possible to instanly keep intouch.
But today we all enjoy digital TV, mobile phones, instant messaging, SKYPE just to name a few.
My mother has had a fall and my NZ sister keeps me informed via mobile text. It doesn't make it any easier to bear the news but it does keep you in the loop. Where years ago we would have got the news a couple of days later by Telegram
