A buggy is like a car, but drawn by a horse.
Radio is like TV, but with no picture, only sound.
A letter is like email, but written on paper and delivered in days or weeks.
The Encyclopedia Britannica is like Wikipedia, but printed in 26 volumes, and occupies half a room.
A telegram is like SMS, but you need to send it from the telegraph office.
A newspaper is like Google News, but is only updated once a day.
TV is like YouTube, but you can only watch what’s playing right now.
A Victrola is like an iPod, but with fewer songs and lower fidelity.
