  • Print books, (quite a while)
  • TV, (as long as you would like)

Facts:
People also could communicate by mass media and the radio was still popular, and the new mass medium of television began to gather an audience in the late 1940's
they used typewriters at school and they still used them for writing letters
In 1940’s at  wartime in Britain, not a lot of families had phones. There were public telephones and shops or businesses might be encouraged in an emergency to let valued customers use their phones.
