What would we have done?
Waiting for a good friend to show up. We’d arranged to meet at a Starbucks, but through some misunderstanding, we both ended up at the wrong place. The situation was easily remedied through use of a mobile phone. By the time he showed up I’d finished my first cup of coffee (picture with cup and arriving friend in the distance).
I wondered: what would we have done 20 years ago? I suppose I’d have waited for about half an hour, tried to find a public telephone and – provided I had coins- tried to call him at home. And would then have moved on. Times have changed indeed.
