HELLO STEEMIANS!! THIS IS MY FIRST POST!!

I've only ever lived with mobile phones. So it's not a feeling of nostalgia that sweeps me at the sight of this (Superb photo by the way! What a great find!). Nonetheless, it is a longing of a kind, for something the photo captures which is absent today.

The ancient wall with an anachronistic phone booth built on it couldn't contrast more with the principle of 'upgrading' we have today. Today we demolish the old world so we can build the new from scratch and replace it with the 'future.'

We used to build on the past, adding a new room, a new story to the building. We built up the world layer upon layer, rather than tear it down to begin from scratch. We had a different attitude towards the world and a different understanding of time.

I think we've lost a lot more than we might have gained by this revolution.
