This is kind of a trivial musing, but I was thinking about how amazing the invention of the TV is. We take it for granted today, but to someone who lived thousands or even hundreds of years ago, it would seemed like magic. Just think about it, we are able to capture echoes of the past. I recall watching a silent video taken a century ago and it's just like having a little time machine. You can get a little glimpse of the lives of people who lived and died before many of us were even born.

Or they will be watching us and thinking and laughing, did they really believe those things? Much the same way we think of people living in the middle ages.

You know, I have watched TV showing the trends of the 60's 70's etc and every moron who memmented on such all were fools, who were bagging the hell out of each era in fact ! but in the era they all thought how smart they looked in fact !

I had my nipper say to me, the 1960's 70's were that everyone was on drugs ? because that's what TV was making out that they were all on drugs ! I had to say, No ! not at all from what I seen, but for movie stars and TV people and just idiots were the majority.

All TV shows are BS in fact ! The Fonz, Eeeeyyyyyy ! he would of got punched out in reality ! No one would put up with a jerk like that.
