It’s like Netflix, but
– you have to start watching at a certain day and time, or otherwise you will only see it in the re-run next year or even never!
– you only know this day and time after looking it up on printed paper!!
– there is no pause, skipping forward or rewinding!!!
But you can watch it without your parents knowing what you have watched 😉
I got in this discussion with my kids once: What was your favorite computer game, video, etc. I started explaining what I didn’t have. They were prepared to accept no color TV and no computers, but thought I was pulling their leg when I said no push-button phones. They believed me only when I found a rotary phone and showed that it worked.
Ooh, rotary phones … I had to call NEC in Munich multiple times due to repairs for a broken dot matrix printer, their phone number is 08999699something. Having to dial 9 multiple times really puts strain on the index finger!
It’s called talking. Like what we are doing.
What’s TV?
