How the net has changed communication

I got a message on MySpace yesterday that turned out to be from someone I worked with a long, long time ago. I was working as the assistant to the VP of market research and he was contracted to develop some human resources software for the company. Talk about a blast from the past.
This is exactly why I love the internet, though. I have a hard time imagining not having contact tools at hand like the ones available online. It should not be so hard for me to believe, since a mere 10 years ago most houses weren’t even wired for the net. If you wanted to locate someone, you looked in the phone books at the library or you called information and had the operator sift through the listings in a given city.
I also wrote a lot of letters to people I did know how to find to see if they had current addresses for old friends. Getting a letter returned to sender was a common thing, since often addresses I had were so old nobody living there knew who I was.
We’re spoiled now.
