In this activity, we interviewed Aling Josie, a 65 year old woman from Hillside Village, Ugong, Valenzuela City, who lived at the generation of having a difficult communication. She said that it was too hard for her to send message for her love ones since the communication process was too slow. It takes 2 weeks or more for her message to be received. She also stated that she was able to use voice tape before wherein a blank tape was used to record your voice message. By that, she can say whatever she likes freely. According to Aling Josie also, there is 2 ways on how you will going to send your mail. It’s either the ordinary delivery or the special delivery. In ordinary, it takes a long period of days for you to convey your message to someone unlike the special delivery it can be a faster delivery compared to ordinary. On the modern days in her age, she also experienced the hardship in contacting her loveones. She is just asking for a free telephone call on her neighbor and sometimes, they cannot request since their neighbor is too rude. But according to her, the sacrifices and hardships upon sending message is priceless when you received a very pleasant message also from someone you love.
My insight to this activity is that we are much luckier compared to them because we were born with less hassle and more convenient. We never experienced the challenges they have passed because we are currently in the innovating stage of technologies. Also, it is much easier for us because the technology today is just a “one-click communication.” Meaning, in just a milliseconds or seconds, you can now send your message fastly and easily.
