It's quick little exchanges like this that spotlight just how much things have changed. Yes, in those olden days before emails were around people were still able to get stuff done. Might've taken a little extra exertion, but the world still kept spinning madly on. Anyone who has ever had a conversation with someone in a younger generation has likely had that, "dang I'm getting old" moment.

    Text - Lol-you had to walk over to the room and there would be a note on the door. What if it was at 8 am? You'd still have to wake up early and walk all the way in? That is correct.

    Text - It was on an index card on a bulletin board outside of the math building. How would you reply if it was on a bulletin? What if they wanted to link something for more details? It just seems so crazy to me

    Text - You had to call a phone number. That was it. And ask questions once you get there. I got a job after receiving and responding to one (1) email, I can't imagine having to interact with someone for it
