Description
Reaching back in time again when it was just too much hassle to get up and turn the channel. You were hypnotized by the horizontal hold while thinking about the things in your simple slow life. It was a time before remote controls and cable. There were only channels 2-13 and you got the news you needed to know in a 30 minute show and you never heard anything real important like that high speed car chase three states away, or a small plane crash somewhere in the other hemisphere.

On the other hand, you didn't have all these extra piece of information that you didn't need, like the advertisement for a program you would never watch smeared all over your screen either. People could actually concentrate on a single plot for 30 to 60 minutes without being reminded in great detail about the possible side effects of medications being pushed by the pharmacy companies instead of recommended by your own doctor in the privacy of his office and within the bounds of your doctor-patient relationship. I could go on and on, but I'll spare you.
