My grandparents once told me, when they were young. If they want to kept in touch with anyone they need to write letters . There were no telephones or any television,computers. So instead, they usually go and see some puppies show. They must travle by horses.
Nowadays, we just only need to send a e-mail. If we want to know what happend today, we only to watch the daily news. We have planes now, so it's more easy to travel around the world. We have a better life style now.
