TV Tech
This takes me back to simpler times as a child in 1960s suburban CT when we could only get six or seven over-the-air channels and only a few of those offered decent reception. No matter - as long as I could get the Yankees games - fuzzy as they often were. Who could have dreamed of the options we have today? What a day it was when Dad brought home this new-fangled tech that allowed us to adjust the rooftop antennae automatically from a set top box. In the early 70s he bought a color (we were a bit late to that game) TV that had a sorta-remote control. Was that ever cool...the handheld control along with the wire connecting it to the TV. And, one day, what's this thing called cable TV? And pong sure is fun not to mention Nintendo and all the renditions that have followed. Then the internet followed by plasma TVs, surround sound, LED, 3D TV, OLED, Wifi and all the tech stuff mentioned in this thread.
Makes one wonder how our children will look back on today's tech and compare it to what they will be living with in the future. What's next?
