Memories of a non-digital era by Lindsay Harris
I _______ ________ my dad tidy up the attic when we came across his old computer. It was so big and old-fashioned! He used the computer to write essays for his homework. The internet _______ _______ when he was younger, so he couldn’t spend time chatting online or posting messages on social media. Imagine!

When he wanted to talk to a friend, he used to use the telephone in the house because mobile phones weren’t common. Only rich businessmen had them and they were large and heavy. So when dad _______ ______ plans to meet a friend, they couldn’t contact each other to say if they would be late. They just had to wait. How boring!

Dad said his uncle _______ _______ to live in Australia, and the only time Grandpa spoke to his brother was once a year because telephone calls abroad were so expensive.

Instead, they often wrote letters to each other. Now, we can video call anyone in the world for free!
