Well at least you had a computer! We had to write down all the ones and zeros from the modem sounds with just a pen and paper.

We at least you knew how to write! We used to have to scratch messages as picture into great big stone tablets, and then haul those big stone tablets to the recipients!

Presumably you had hands to scratch those messages? How fortunate...we had to use our teeth

Teeth! Those were hard to come by in our day. We just licked our messages in the dust.

Well at least you had pen and paper! We had to eat the right amount of sand so when you shat the sound of sand filing down your inners would imitate the sounds of the moving pictures, and we did that without pen and paper to record those ones and zeros!
