Television has changed during my lifetime. I remember when a tv was furniture. We had to cross the room to change the volume and the channel. If we did change the channel, we had to adjust the fine tuning and sometimes go outside to give the antenna a turn. Rabbit Ears, coat hangers and tin foil made our living rooms look like a mad scientist’s laboratory. I also remember the horizontal and vertical hold knobs and how a good slap on the side could help settle things down.

My family knows this and will assume I check my call history at my convenience and I’ll get back to them. My children know that if their heads are on fire, or they’ve lost an arm, I am not the best person to call. If it is urgent, they can follow a call with a text message or as it has been known to happen, track me down in person, tap me on the head and tell me to answer the phone. [...] |
