RE: The Modern Miracle of Disposable Technology
The 'good old days' weren't . The cathode ray tube of TV's had a very limited life span...as did all the tubes inside the box. I remember having the TV repairman make house calls (to replace burnt out tubes) several times a year.
When the CRT burnt out..the TV was done. it cost more to replace it than to buy a new TV.
That's the problem. People are seeing the past through rainbow colored goggles, just like everything would have been far better then. They cherry pick the memories to remember the few things which worked for years and assume everything was made of the same quality.
I'm 67 years old this month..
The past was cast iron BITCH.
we live in the best of times
(so far)
