What people did before the use of ICT?

Before the advent of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), people relied heavily on face-to-face communication, printed materials, and physical mail for information exchange. They used landline telephones for voice communication and relied on newspapers, books, and public libraries for information dissemination. Social interactions were primarily local, and knowledge sharing occurred through community gatherings, lectures, and Word of mouth. Overall, communication was slower and more labor-intensive compared to today's digital methods.
