I like to tell my kids how easy they have it. When I was their age, I had to walk 8 feet thru shag carpeting to change the channel.
Oh, you poor baby. When
I was a youngster, we never got to change the channel at all because there was only
one TV channel on the air. KIEM-TV, Eureka, California.
I have this blurred memory from when I wasn't even in primary school, of watching the original Dr. Who with my 4-year-older sister on a small black and white TV, without a remote but with a broken knob to switch channel (we had two) and an antenna cable in the back of it that was constantly giving us troubles. I was mesmerized by the Daleks, which looked incredibly similar to a moka coffee pot, which I ended up getting from the kitchen to play.
Not sure how old this makes me appear. But, fun memory.
