A super easy way to keep up with your old pal Katy is to subscribe to my newsletter!
probably one of the dumbest headlines i’ve read in a while:
ok, right, i get the pun with the word “STOP.” i get that the story’s about western union’s decision to cease offering telegram services. (they still offered telegram services? in 2006?)
but i’m pretty sure that it was technology that came well before the rise in popularity of the internet which caused the demise of the telegram as a form of communication. i mean, when was the last time YOU received a telegram? even as a little kid i remember thinking that telegrams sounded very old fashioned, and i grew up in the 1970s. the internet has only been a household technology since the late 1990s.
however, i think that it would have been cool to receive one, just for the novelty of it. oh well.
