Walking down memory lane of late . . .
One of the things I've been thinking
about is my television journey. Being
somewhere around 100 years old, I
still remember as a child growing up
in a small town, a one TV channel
place.
My parents chose not to indulge in
this fad, new to our town. I thought it
might have something to do with their
beliefs as they were quite religious.
Although, maybe it had to do with our
somewhat impoverished station in life.
Bottom line, I didn't get my first TV
until I'd been married ten years.
I have shared this before. However,
I find it interesting that as an adult,
I still have no interest in television.
Oh, but the machine serves me well,
nonetheless . . .
We have one that shows all the angles
of the surrounding property as part of
a fine security system. We have another
on which we view fun DVD movies,
even without annoying commercials!
Obviously, the television as an instrument
of entertainment, has great value. But,
give me the whole VCR thing, rather than
a TV, and I'm a happy camper!
I'm beginning to see that I am indeed
somewhere around a 100 years old . . .
