Pretty wild to have covered that much ground way back then. It's not like you could call anyone if something bad happened during your journey.

    No, the 1980s had widespread telephones.

    Damn reality. It was a joke about how everyone is constantly connected via cellphone now, but I suppose it wasn't all that good. Just here trying to have some fun.

    Yes, forced digitalisation is bad, but 'constant connection' is not really a thing as the digitalisation also made people more lonely, so people miss connection (visible also through the amount of pre-digital nostalgia in media).
