Funny, a lot of us grew up in the infancy of TV, crank phones, dial phones (Party lines), No cell phones, no computers, so the only thing to do in the house was read. We did get a TV in 1947, one of two in 10 miles, the cabinet was 3 feet wide, had doors on it and a whopping big 5" screen, it also had a short wave radio built in. TV came on about 6 in the evening and went off at 10. 3 stations, CBS, NBC and ABC. Remember the test patterns? I used to set in front of the TV and try to figure out how they got that test pattern from far away to our house and put it on the screen, not sure how it's done today! :highly_amused:
