Back in the day we had dumb phones and smart users, unlike today when we have smart phones and…well I think you understand what I’m saying.
To really understand the history of the word you have to know that the TV tubes (which aren’t really tube-shaped at all) were descended from vacuum tubes, which are.
Right now, I’m trying to get rid of an old analog TV. It looks as if THAT’s going to cost money.
I just realized nobody refers to TV shows being “on the tube” anymore.
