There is also something incredibly "simple" about the end result of an analog connection - literally a pair of wires connected across thousands of miles.
Digitalization has added so many layers people don't even know - it's sad that there aren't many actual direct analog connections you can make anymore to see how "realtime" it was.
I remember overseas calls having a huge lag. Now I can call across and works and chat with perfect audio and video.
I think we’re romanticizing the past and failing to recognize the ways in which calls are so much better.
Yeah, the delay on digital phone calls still trips me up. It's nothing like being face-to-face or an analog call. I'll take the static, just give me sub-20ms latency!
