Gabby tells me that when you were young, your TV had rabbit ears? Yep. Technology was pretty crummy back in those days. Nonsense! It was better by leaps and bounds!
I still view over the air channels. The digital signals the federal government mandated are much worse than the old analog version. Weak signals, effected by cars driving by the house. Thanks for nothing, again, Washington D.C.
Kids view it as crummy technology, BUT fail to understand that it was just one step toward getting us to today’s technology. It doesn’t start out at the end result. It has to be worked toward! Who knows what today’s technology will look like in 50 years? Enjoy it, I won’t be around then. Unless I live to be 126 which is unlikely!

Didn’t have so many channels to choose from. Just four, and yet it would have been nice to have a VCR or DVR back then.

Less to choose from, but way better content.
