It wasn't possible to contact people in real time after they left their home. We had to be punctual or else it would be a big deal.

It's still a big deal and the selfish and rude idea that it wouldn't be costs businesses a lot of money and it makes relationships a lot less pleasant. People aren't rude about time (other people's time) because we have cellphones. It started before that. But they did make it worse!
