I started thinking about television today. I don't know how those thoughts got started as I don't watch TV. I don't watch one minute of TV all year.
I was thinking about the first TV I saw. We were 80 miles from the TV station. We put a 40 ft. antennae on top of the house. We got one station and it was snowy. Sometimes you didn't get any picture at all. It was black and white. You had to get up and go to the TV to turn it off or on. (Actually I was thinking about remotes that started me thinking about old television.)
TV reception improved a little. Then we got cable or something and brought in 3 or 4 channels. You still had to get up and go to the TV to turn it off or on or change stations. It still wasn't color.
I don't remember when we got color TV.
I don't know when remote controls came in but that saved us a lot of effort as we didn't have to get up to change channels. Now we have many channels so sometimes there is a lot of channel changing.
Color came and it was not that clear.
Now we have so many channels that we don't know what to watch.
Well, you could be like me and not watch TV.
