But can you imagine the blissful ignorance?

No social media.

No phones.

No 24 hour news cycle.

Almost no literacy.

Just a town crier once a week or month or whenever our lord thought there was important news to share.

The travelling minstrel, or dance troupe, or puppeteer coming through annually and doing shows for a few nights before carrying on to the next town.
