Kids these days have no idea how easy they have it! When I was their age I had to walk across 12 feet of shag carpet just to change the TV channel! And then walk 12 feet back across that same shag carpet just to sit back down!

You were what they used to call a poor man’s clicker… That’s a remote control for those to young to have heard this.
I was too. Hell, I even had to do the antenna holding crap, or go get foil for it, when the football game would get a snowy picture. My kids and grandkids would have had a meltdown with only 3-4 channels of TV and no computers or internet. They would have considered that punishment for nothing.

I hated walking across that shag carpet in the winter, and getting the jolt of my life every time I touched anything metal ... or even just another person.

My dad used to make all my siblings turn the dial back in the day. Wherever they were in the house, he would call them down to turn the knob to the right channel.
I was in first grade when we finally got cable. I remember thinking "Wow, Nickelodeon!? A whole channel with just kids stuff on all the time!?" I thought it was paradise.

My kids and grandkids would have had a meltdown with only 3-4 channels of TV and no computers or internet. They would have considered that punishment for nothing. My family was on the cutting edge of technology at the time. lol We had a tall TV antenna tower with a rotor. For those too young to know what that is, it was an electric motor attached to roof top TV antennas so you could rotate the antenna in any direction you wanted to help you better pick up TV stations in different directions. As such not only could we get Dayton TV stations clearly but also Cincinnati and Columbus.

We had a roof mount that was decent until storms… then the foil came out especially on Sundays during football. Ocassionally, being the oldest, I got sent up on the 8/12 pitch roof to adjust it. Fun times…

Stevie Wonder today spoke out to the press in defense of Diddy. In a short, one sentence defense of Diddy Stevie said, "I didn't see or witness anything illegal." Stevie refused to answer any questions from the press.
