Progress does not stand still. A couple of decades ago, staying in an unfamiliar city, you first bought a map or atlas. Today, every phone has a navigation that not only paves the route, but also calculates the minimum time to cover the distance. Modern technologies make our life easier and faster. Many things that used to be the norm, now cause at least bewilderment. Try to remember those 5 things that used to look everyday and routine. Now this can only be remembered with a nostalgic smile.
Remember phone numbers
Previously, you remembered the phones of the second half, children, parents, friends, laundry, taxi and your favorite restaurant. Now you can not always easily recall your own number, not to mention to call somewhere else. Modern phones automatically save all incoming information. There is no need to type each digit separately. Now, with a little sadness, you can remember the times of fear to lose the necessary paper with contacts, have a defective pen in your pocket, or lose a napkin with important information written on it.
Phonebook to solve household problems
Whenever there was any malfunction, you took the Yellow Pages and looked for, for example, a plumber to fix pipes. You consulted with acquaintances and friends, shared with them contacts of professionals. Now there are tons of applications, the Internet, reviews, recommendations, photos and reports from other buyers about the work done. All information that previously needed to be recognized and obtained is now available in one click.
Selling a car and other useful things
Once it was necessary to go to the editorial office of a local newspaper or a specialized publication, place an ad and be constantly close to a landline telephone. Today you post a message about the sale, without getting up from the table, write as much text as you think necessary. You can take a picture of an object and set it up in a way you see fit. The phone is always nearby, and you will not miss a single potential buyer. And you can get a deposit in 5 minutes in your bank account.
Math Computing in Mind
The need to count in your mind numbers accompanied you everywhere. You need to count the money at the cash register, calculate the change, line up the balance of the family budget, check the bills or choose the correct ratio of products in the recipe. Today, the calculator is built into most gadgets, including watches. On the move, you can find the square root of any number, without interrupting an important conversation or business.
