I was there in the "pre-television" era. I can still remember the shock I felt when I walked into an elder's living room and his teen-aged daughter was watching television!

In all my years there, I had never seen nor imagined such a thing. A few had televisions, along with VCRs, for watching "ministry" tapes. That was it. MAYBE the news, occasionally. But television, for entertainment? Never.

Today, from my sporadic contacts, I think it is commonplace. So there has been a big change regarding culture, and the world.
