Even less than a 150 years ago that would have been impossible. And prior to that communication among normal people could take months.

Early Chinese immigrants to the US had to write letters to get physically carried across the pacific ocean... which took like months I think. I don't think a telegraph cable even exist across the ocean back then.

Now I can just video chat my aunts in China in HD in real time... (tbh I haven't really talked to them since I left when I was 8, I only ever like briefly say a few words when mom was calling)

So bizzare to be born in this time period...

Like I could just summon any information on a glass thingy whenever I get curious
