I remember the days of trunk calls and telegrams. In India the only good news from a telegram used to be the birth of a child. Other than that telegrams always had bad news. Sometimes I wonder if my stress would have been less, and my overthinking mind a bit calmer, if everything I needed was not at my fingertips ready to be used. We did exist with mobile phones and maps for eg. Would I still be as stressed as I am now? God knows.
Very thoughtful post, made me go on my own journey as you can see :)
