Thank goodness my phone can do real time universal translation lol.
"Tutoring for the youth.
On the left you can see a cell phone from the 80s, on the right the email box"
What's funny about this is that both of those actually existed in the 80s.
Cellphone circa 1980s

And email was first sent via the arpanet In 1971.
That being said, I love the style of both the phone booth and the mailbox in that photo.

I bought a D network privately in 1993. The phone was a Motorola Microtac. In 1995 I sold it and bought a GSM Motorola 7200

I remember my mom buying a car phone that was carried around in a big lunch-box-like container.
