That person must be well over a hundred. My dad is 91, and his folks had a television when he was still in high school. Of course, before that, they sat around the radio as a family, and they had lots of books. But yes, trees are good. Even my kids, who are still in their 20s, grew up climbing trees.

It was more like looking at your trembling hands while you listened to the night spirits.

We watched the “Magic Eye” on our Zenith radio. Good times…..

There were lots of things to do: like watching the grass grow and for paint to dry. For real excitement waiting and watching for water to boil.

Once in a while a train might go by. Lots of excitement.

Life without TV is coming again. People use their phones and tablets instead.

How many people are still alive who didn’t grow up with television?

Not books? is this guy from the mid-15th century (Gutenberg and his printing press)?

Apparently you were the only person in life that never heard of radio or books.

Before Television the older generations big fear was that books would rot the kids minds.
And before that It was surely something else.
