Conversación 3:

Mike: Back in the 20th century, technology was so different.

Lisa: I can imagine. What was life like without smartphones and the internet?

Mike: We had landline phones, and we used to write letters instead of emails.

Mike: It was, but we also had more face-to-face interactions.

Lisa: Did you have any favorite hobbies during that time?

Mike: I used to collect vinyl records and play them on my turntable.

Mike: True, there's something nostalgic about them.

Lisa: It's fascinating to hear about life in the old days.
