How communication differs from the 60's to the 21st century?

I'm writing a research report for my English Class and we are required to write a paper by interviewing a person (at least 50 years old) about different aspects of his/her culture when they were a teen. I'm writing mine on the difference of life with advances of communication, such as cell phones, computers, email, fax machines, etc. We must ask our interviewee 15 questions about our topic. Any suggestions for questions to ask? The more the better, thanks!

1. - how did you talk to your friends from school? - how many times did you have to rewrite a paper before you turned it in w/o being messy (in pen) - when did you learn to type on a typewriter? - How did you find someone in a crowd when you couldn't see each other? - did you have a pen pal in another country? How long did a letter take to get there/back? (an older person will know about this...)
2. 1. Did you save any letters or cards sent to you from friends and relatives?
3. Look in the real world. Decode this lyrics " You'll see " "Wonderful world" "Working class hero" "Cold turkey" "Zombie" "How we don't talk any more" In the 60's? Communicating in one new universal language and one speech in living words for communication with God from the Book of the Living and among all tribes of different community in time? In the 21st century? Communicating with hand signs in moving backwards to the twilight zone as casualty of the dead Mummy eerily shrieking and wailing in ghostly kitchen's dialect with ghostly and deadly words from the graveyards of different ghostly ancestor's culture and custom in shaking and waking up the dead Mummy with hear-say from the Book of the Dead with self prides of National Language as National Identity of a rudeness tribe living in misery like " Alley Oop" - "Down town" in "Funky Town" in " Got-them city" in the new Atlantis in time? All the glory in idol worshipping another past "Dirty old man" of a rudeness tribe like you and me with self lack of knowledge and total loss of IQ back in the past in making a monkey out of ourselves in "Planet of Apes" In short-changing, conning and deceiving little children with their self lack of knowledge and total loss of IQ as majority in control with oppression and slavery in having them to bow down to the rudeness tribe in broad daylights as cheap-skate glory and success of National Identity in time?
