Just in case you think your parents or grandparents weren't as technologically as hip as you are...
Fonopost? What's
that?!?
...
So, you record your voice on a record and mail it to someone?
I guess they didn't have a terribly good phone system in Argentina in 1953?
And you've got to be
pretty lazy to not want to physically write a letter to your "
lover."
Still...
Take that,
Skype!! We won't be needing you 50 years later!
Or, maybe not so fast:
Keen analysis,
Sidney M. Elias, author of "
Stamp Page"! It will indeed be a "
long time" before Fonopost is universally adopted. A long, long,
long time...
From Planet Comics #72 (1953)
