I spent many holidays in Uruguay in the 80s and early 90s. I loved cartoons, but TV was only on at 10am, so I had to go out and play. If we went to my grandparents' beach house, there was an old vacuum tube TV that took hours to heat up so mostly I didn't bother to use it. I watched Tyson's defeat to Buster Douglas on that TV and the next morning there was still a little point of light in the centre of the screen because it also took a long time to go completely blank. So not having access to TV was liberating. I wouldn't mind having no Internet on weekends today. |
