Best Answer

Prior to radios, for entertainment people read books; had conversations; listened to other people playing musical instruments; read books; women engaged in sewing and embroidery; read and wrote letters; and played parlour games, just to name a few. For long distance communication, there was none, until telegraph lines came along.
