Good morning, friends. 🌺🌺🌺

19 December 2024

Once upon a time in the olden days I had a portable television that I purchased used because I could not afford a new one. This television had a 14-inch screen and rabbit ears on top of the set. Now I realize that people born in the 21st Century may not know what rabbit ears are, so I will attempt a description: rabbit ears were a sort of indoor antenna made two extendable rods that looked rather like the feelers on an insect - bet that cleared it up. While the TV worked okay it had one minor defect, there was no knob to turn the channel; so, I improvised with pliers. Okay, I should explain what a knob was on a TV, but I’m out of characters.

“Whatever people thought the first time they held a portable phone the size of a shoe in their hands, it was nothing like where we are now, accustomed to having all knowledge at our fingertips”. - Nancy Gibbs

    Back in those days, it was manageable mostly because there was no other way to get it done. Now days, people might lay back and flip through the channels as soon as a commercial comes on and the remote control is the only way to change the channel.
