… Telegram??? How do more young people use Telegrams than old people? Forget the age group - Literally HOW do you even send OR receive a telegram? There are not telegram offices in each town like there used to be. But somehow 15% of the youths are sending telegrams?

I had the same question

I suspect OP is confusing "sending a telegram" like you and I are imagining with using the messenger app Telegram.

Also I'm not sure "basic Google chart with Twitter handle pasted on it" qualifies as "beautiful data".

All good points.

I assume you must be right about Telegram vs telegram.

You’re in the retro activity of not caring about the rules then

Rules? I'm not saying it doesn't meet the requirements for posting visuals in this sub. I'm just saying it's not actually a good looking graph

I had to do a search. A modern telegram is a online service that will print a physical copy and deliver it. It isn't the telegrams from my youth.

I had this exact same thought. I'm 30 and wouldn't even know where to begin to find a place to send a telegram.
