Yep, getting up to change the channel brings back memories. Signing off for the night, something kids today will never know! I remember our first computer well. My kids were a bit older than years. You're right about it being a treasure in many ways. You are right neither of my children are glued to their phones like today's kids. I have birthday cards going out each week and I'll be working on Mother's Day cards soon. Excellent post!

Many kids of today would be astounded by your post and how things used to be. Technology is so integrated into their lives. We still have TVs that work on aerials although our main TV is on cable. Another great post Joyce. I've been reading your posts but don't always have time to leave a comment. I'm trying to get through the A-Z too and I'm definitely winging it this year lolWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103884780854638066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-84448127037346045402021-04-14T08:42:01.167-04:002021-04-14T08:42:01.167-04:00Joyce,

We live in a place in town where the reception is excellent that rabbit ears pick up the signal beautifully. Of course much of our TV viewing is done through streaming services. The good old days were almost magical. We learned so much about who we are as well how to appreciate the people and things in our world. Modern technology can be like unleashing the horrors of Pandora's Box but like you pointed out there's a lot of good that's come from it, too. Who knows what tomorrow will bring but whatever rolls out, I hope I'm eager to learn the newest technology and never feel like I'm too old to do it. Great post!<br /><br />Check out today's Looney Tunes' Art Sketch of <a href="https://curiousasacathy.com/kiss-me-cat/" rel="nofollow">Kiss Me Cat</a> when y'all get a chance.

Things have certainly changed - yes, some for the better and some not. One of my fondest memories is being invited to a friend's house to see The Wizard of Oz on her family's new color TV. When Dorothy opens the door to Oz and all those colors are there! Wow. It was another year or so before my folks got us a color TV, and even then only some shows were in color. Fun memories!! xoTerri Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333024343069943295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-85470720629628572982021-04-13T15:50:56.053-04:002021-04-13T15:50:56.053-04:00Your description of experience with television as ...Your description of experience with television as a kid parallel's mine.

In the middle was a TV and on one end was a stereo. Maybe there was a radio in the other end?? or maybe it was storage for records?? We never allowed our kids to have TV's in their bedrooms either. I sure do love facetime -- our grandbabies think facetime is so normal!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181034688965864601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-15315559798594723822021-04-13T09:20:45.376-04:002021-04-13T09:20:45.376-04:00I remember rabbit ears!

They were simpler times, and I think we all benefited from just one news hour per day. Yes, tv viewing was for the whole family. I remember Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, and more. Now I can't imagine watching prime time network channels with children. Have a terrific Tuesday!Tanya https://www.blogger.com/profile/15451171508299813896noreply@blogger.com
