I grew up in the 80’s when there were only 3 channels, then 4, yes I remember them coming out to tune in channel 4. I also remember having to turn a dial or all things to change a channel, there were no remote’s in those days. Another memory I have was blowing up the black and white tv but plugging the aerial in the wrong place, oops. The best memory was out first large TV with a remote control, dad called this a doofer, so it’s what I’ve always called it. What do you call the remote control?
My children have grown up in a world of fancy gadgets and don’t understand when they can’t rewind and replay live tv. Not forgetting the hundreds of channels they have. They can work the tv remote’s, playstations, iPads better than their grandparents, it’s truly amazing to see what they can do. Don’t get me wrong their favourite thing is still playing with a ball and playing footie. However, they would have no idea how to change a tv channel without a remote control. Would yours?
