With Instant Messenger and other new fangled internet thingies, it’s very easy to forget how big a step, even everyday items can be for some people… and how some of the well established and much taken for granted aspects of everyday life are still very new to some! Take SMS Text for instance… I recently received what turned out to be the most endearing text ever! An older-generation relative of mine finally decided to take the plunge and buy a mobile phone… inevitably that lead to their first text message, which initially caused concern!
It read: Hello Patrick, STOP Calling, STOP Meeting Tomorrow, STOP
Needless to say, I was worried I had somehow caused offence in some way and rang. The response to which was nothing was wrong I thought that’s what you had to do with Telegrams.
Very Adrian Mole… but in a world of way to easy messaging, I think this is one of the most wonderful texts I have ever received – Thank you to the sender!
