Not many years ago, there was a world without smartphones. There was a time with no smartphones. It was a simpler time—a time of face-to-face conversations, physical
（实物的）maps and alarm clocks. Let's go back to that pre-smartphone age.
The first stop is communication. Communication was more personal. People wrote letters and sent faxes(传真). Making a phone call meant dialing on a keypad and waiting. Words were the only way to express feelings, because there were no emojis(表情符号).
Next, let's talk about navigation(导航). In the past, people depended on physical maps and compasses to find their way. There was a joy in spreading out a large map and using their finger to find their way.
Entertainment(娱乐) was very different as well. People read books, played board games or went outside. There were no online video apps.
In the pre-smartphone age, people also had a different relationship with time. We depended on watches and wall clocks. We had to set our alarm clocks by hand every night before going to bed. And we used calendars(日历) to mark important dates and events.
In short, life before smartphones was different, but not necessarily worse. It made us more patient, more focused on the present. Maybe in the future, we'll look back at the pre-AI days like we do now. But for now, we should value the process that has shaped our current(目前的) lives. It shows us how technology has changed our world, and also makes us remember the simple joys we once had.
