For example, in her book Alone Together, Sherry Turkle writes of one young man who says he cannot remember ever receiving a personal letter in his life. Referring to the time when people wrote letters, he says: “I miss those days even though I wasn’t alive.”
Kwa mfano, katika kitabu Alone Together, Sherry Turkle aliandika kuhusu kijana aliyesema kwamba tangu alipozaliwa hakumbuki kupokea barua iliyoandikwa hasa kwa ajili yake. Akizungumza kuhusu kipindi ambacho watu walikuwa na kawaida ya kuandika barua, kijana huyo anasema hivi: “Ingawa sikuwa hai wakati huo ninatamani kama ningekuwepo.”
