Today's young people might not even know it, but the device shown in the picture is called a telephone.
At one time, everyone was bitter after this, because only a few had the privilege of getting their own telephone line. If you believe it, if you don't, you had to apply, plead, "whatever, dear comrades, take pity on me, I really need a phone, help me!" My reasons are the following…”
You don't believe it, do you, our young friends. However, it was considered a privilege if someone could celebrate being connected to the telephone network five and not ten years later after his application.
Mobile? There was no news yet.
We don't mourn those times even in telecommunications, but we can remember them for that. And to smile at what we could only lament at the time.
On the occasion of World Telecommunications Day, Katalin Novák, minister without portfolio responsible for families, posted the picture on her social media page with the following text: "Most children today would no longer be able to use a device like this. Do you still remember what our life was like without mobile phones?"
