Growing up in the years before and during Cable television, I am positive television was the most talked about topic over any and all aside from basic hello.

And if you didn't have cable, well you'd get filled in on whatever, but were oddly OK with it.

Not a cell phone in sight. People just out there living their lives. Occasionally dropping dead of tuberculosis. The good ol' days.
