Warning to Suddenlink customers: stream Netflix all day and Suddenlink will hit you with such a data usage surcharge that it would have been cheaper to just buy the DVDs.
I was 11 in 1958 and we had a tv that was almost as big as a dishwasher. We had 2 channels. There was one channel we didn’t get and it showed Shirley Temple stories. When Shirley Temple was on, we went to our neighbors to watch it. When I got out of the army in 1970, I bought a color TV and an antenna. I put it on a pole and would turn it to get better reception. Now that our kids are all gone, we have 4 UHD TV’s. Those 4 TVs cost less than the one my pop bought. I do remember being the remote for my pop. It was fun, especially when Elvis and the Beatles were on Sunday PM with Ed Sullivan. It was the best of times.
I’m so old, I remember having to wait for a show to be broadcast for my DVR to record it so I could watch it later instead of streaming it on demand. Uphill, both ways!

I’m so old I can remember when you had to get up from the couch and go to the TV set to change the channels and we only had 7 channels.

But what did you do before laptops were invented? Or Netflix?

Why not just have him say videos? Fletnix isnt’ the only source of video content.
