Finally! Someone has said it. Christmas cards has now been replaced with matching PJays from "mine to yours". Sad isn't it? The goal with cards was to create a feeling that you are been thought of and this can comfort everyone even the lonely. But these matching PJays trend only magnifies ones loneliness and make you feel inadequate especially at the end of the year. We can do better folks.

If you're a 90's baby you will understand what I mean.

Back in the day there used to be Christmas and New Cards, this is another stark reminder on how technology can render a whole industry redundant in one fell swoop!

They still do it in western world

A

Society evolve.... those born in or were very young when digital technology was introduced would generally not appreciate Christmas Cards. Same with letters ... reason Post Offices began seeing a steep decrease in letter volume ... but an increase in parcels. Should we talk about Newspapers? .... when last have you read one?... or have you ever read one? We move!

zombieHUNTER:
Social media happened to it ...


Some one tell our wicked leaders that life is temporary..
We just lost a sitting Governor
You go nowhere with looted funds and mansions..

You will only be remembered by the positive impact you had while walking the Earth..

If Naira and the economy continues to nosedive under the care..
if insecurity and poverty rises just as you take charge.. to the extent that people now celebrate being able to afford three square meals.. ..

The deepest part of hell belongs to such fellow and there's nothing anyone can do about it..

Those people doesn't care about death until it comes to them...

Replaced with pyjamas

No just bring card come near me. Wetin

internet

Advanced technology took over the world

Technology bro.

Photographers and videographers are next.

With the advent of AI, graphics designers too have a formidable competition.

Cashless policy will erode pos services.

Electronic cars will render PMS and most of the service stations useless.

Only time will tell.

The only save haven for now is agriculture.

Everyone were ok in those days..nowadays,demands are always urgent!

You will also ask what happened to hand-written letters.

Lol. The world is moving.

One day even handphones won't be necessary. All you need will be a chip and voice command and you will type in the air and even see virtual humans before you.

The culture is still then alive but have you given any recently to anyone?

Evolution happened

You are not supposed to be asking this kind of question! Its like what happened to desktop computer when we now have sophisticated smart phones, it's called analog and digital, stone age and jet age

People exchanged Christmas cards and we used to decorate our houses with the cards.

Put it on top of the open door TV and on the centre table

Life!

What happened to Radio, camera etc happened to cards generally; they've evolved

Text and WhatsApp messaging killed it.

xmas cards no be for 9ja pple, our own xmas na rice and chicken/ drinks

People sell am take chop ...

The jet-age swept it away.

Simply put. Humanity is depreciating in Nigeria

OneCandleAway:


Technology took over. Now email. Sms, videos
. Just like postal stamps hardly exist for letter posting.

Yahoo boys, Greed, and entitlement took over......
.abroad, where technology came from people still send greeting cards card and post cards during special seasons

Guess Nigerians don't appreciate it.
The whites cherishes it till today.

They are now extinct due to the internet and social media.

Even birthday cards are outdated.

Wedding invitation cards will soon follow.
They are actually no longer necessary.
i dont know why people still print invitation cards for wedding when you can reach any number of people.
by sending invitation through the phones or email. Design it as you want.

That money wey you go use buy Christmas cards just put the money inside envelope give me abeg who cards help

Still very much used in the western world. It even conveys heartfelt wishes more because alongside the main note, a hand written note can be added. It fell off in Nigeria doesn’t mean it isn’t still a thing. Yes, patronage may have reduced, but it is still a big thing here in the west

gone are those good old days .We rushed to bus stop,bookshop etc and select one pali for N30/100 depend on quality/size.D
Some they do handmade card for small chop.Now We dnt bother to ask passerby for time as our 📱 carry time waka about with us.Thank to TECHNOLOGY

i don't own or can't wear a wristwatch anymore, the smart phone has made that obsolete, I don't know why people still spend money on it, it's an old fa's, same thing will happen to alot of things in my opinion, things like Jewelries is becoming and old fad no matter if it diamond, gold or whatever, Gold might still hold some value due to its use in electronics, also Platinum, but others especially jewelries are going to go out of fad pretty soon and value dropping.
Same will go for those priceless piece of arts their value are going to crash because generation Z and woke generations careless about those things also.

Cards are still very much in use in advanced countries. I've received over 40 Christmas cards and also gave out about 25 cards between last week and now.
There's that aura of grandiose that comes with physical cards that's lacking in the digital ones.

I hardly read digital cards sent to me but be rest assured that I'll read if you give me a physical card.

Obviouslyblunt:
Greedy poor Nigerians stopped valuing the genuineness of gifts and started admiring fake life and show off.

THIS IS THE TRUE REASON.

Not all those talk about Technology.
