Dearest Sushila
Please pardon this old Christmas card from Unicef, a vintage bought with charity in mind. I didn't know then that the world was going to change so much, technologically, digitally whatever! People don't send cards anymore; just mere wishes via email and whatsapp messages which I feel lack the human warmth of a real person!
When Steve Jobs revolutionize the world with his finger-touching smart phone many businesses were affected and some even fold over, Let me recall here:
greeting cards
personal letters communication
facsimile (fax machine)
camera
fuji/kodak roll film
photo-printing
filo-fax (those days, people used to carry leather-bound personal notebook)
calendars
diaries
photo albums
dictionaries
calculators CDs/DVDs
MP3/Nano (personal listening device)
newspapers
And now with the covid pandemic, life will never be the same again. A new normal, they say. There's now on-line shopping, internet banking, digital transfer of money and all those new terms - crypto-currency, Bit-Com. I have absolutely no idea about them and am not interested to learn.
Anyway, Christmas is here again, something to look forward to and even in the carpark lots of the shopping malls, one can hear Christmas carols in their PA system, to lift up our spirits and entice us to join in the season of giving!
Have a joyful Christmas!
Love
Sylvia
