Customers check their mailboxes at the Kibra Post Office in Nairobi. Very few Kenyans use postal services nowadays. [Wilberforce Okwiri, Standard]
I recently saw a question in primary school math explaining how to price a telegram.
To generations Z and Alpha, telegrams were small urgent messages sent through the positive office before we got SMS, email and WhatsApp.
The message was priced based on the number of words. The trick was using as few words as possible without losing the core message.
I guess Twitter learnt from telegram and rode on our reduced attention span.
