Same here... shame really though. The article is right though, this generation doesn't use/require telegrams I guess and that's why they are now history!
 
Does the Queen not send them still on your 100th birthday?

Bitch.
 
Man... Our children will probably ask what Mr. Burns is typing on in that Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns and Homer are trapped inside a log cabin due to a snow slide.

Yo mamma's so poor, she can't even buy periods for her telegrams.
 
We stand facing the destruction of our history stop this thing youre using right now comma the internet comma is a direct descendant of telegrams stop the brave pioneers of telecommunications built the foundation on which we are now only beginning to erect a global consciousness stop they made the first step comma the first leap hyphen and if for no other reason we should keep the telegram alive stop this is a serious issue stop if you can do nothing but make lame jokes then I say good day to you comma sir stop sincerely sulkdodds PS how many periods do you get each year question mark

You guys are stupid, you are thinking of a telegraph, right? the thing that uses morse code? like ... _ _ _ ...?

Telegram is where a mail guy goes up to your house and gives you a little card with a short message on it...
 
50 years from now kids will be wondering how we ever survived without live-video feed on our phones, and actually having to use a computer to check our email.

What? Wait a minute, will this mean the death of the Queen's congratulatory 'you'll die soon' telegram? What will she send now, an e-mail? You can't frame an email!

Lol I can imagine it already in a future film:
"Without an experienced person, we're doomed!"
"I know someone."
*person enters*
"Who the hell is that?"
"It's INSERTNAMEHERE."
"Well, he doesn't look so impressive to me."
"He's Old School."
"Holy shit."

:laugh:
 
Beerend: that's what it's going to be like when we stop using silicon.

"Who's that?"
"That's Jeff. He...he trained under Captain Crunch."
"Jesus."

Bizarrely enough, Telegraphs are used to transmit Telegrams. Isn't that amazing!
 
Telegrams would be taken to your house by the psotman because nto everybody had a telegram machine. or whatever.
