Site NavigationChannel Surfing Its More Fun Than The Shows On Tv
|
|
I’m a modern 21st century committed TV viewer. I watch shows that I like and I like the shows that I watch. And … my choices are almost limitless. With well over 200 channels available to me, I can always find a network or station that is presenting programming I find interesting.
It may be live sports … a feature length Hollywood movie … a quiz show … cable news programming … a political talk and opinion show … reality TV … food programming … a great documentary or just about anything else that’s on TV these days.
The point is this: I’ll find something to watch, a program that captures – and holds – my attention. And I won’t need the TV Guide or some other similar “programming guide” to locate a show that interests me. That’s because “I control the remote” in my home. It gives me power over the TV and incredible convenience.
In a matter of moments, I can easily “channel surf” the more than two hundred stations that take up residence inside my analog TV screen. That is an awesome benefit. And if you find that hard to believe, ask any adult male you happen to know what he thinks about having control of the ”remote” and the ability it gives him to “channel surf” on his TV.
It’s the kind of power that makes every “couch potato male” count his blessings and feel thankful that he is alive and an adult now … when such technological advances as “the remote” are available. What a benefit. And that makes me think of something else … about a different reality for TV viewers that existed as recently as thirty years ago, perhaps a little further back than that.
It was the time when there were no remotes available … and no chance for channel surfing. It seems almost improbable, but I know that when TV was first introduced in 1948 and for many, many years after that men, like me, actually had to rise up off their couches, approach their TV sets … and use the dials, switches or buttons on the TV to change the channel … one channel at a time.
Call those days “the Dark Ages,” but in its infancy and then its adolescence, TV was “almost prehistoric” by current standards. It makes you wonder how guys were actually able to enjoy a few hours in front of their TVs back then.
