You did because there was nothing bigger to watch on. At least not until the projector TV era, which sorely lacked in video quality since it was still low-res broadcast quality, low light and you could not view the screen from off-center. HD changed everything.

I’ve already loved that the ants in this strip are more technologically advanced than the humans.

They have a organized society

That TV is now an ant-ique.

Everybody back then watched television on a CRT.

The Truman show

Ants have iPhones?

Even our small early TVs were bigger than your phone, you little ingrate!

I just spent thousands of dollars for a gigapixel resolution TV with more acreage than a cornfield in Iowa so I can watch my programs on a 4" screen on a phone that costs more than my first car.

The more things change….

Touché.

This is a good example of the difference between screen size and screen resolution…The phone has a better resolution than the tv.

When feather-weight flip phones were abandoned by my provider yeah. provider, right I had to go to a larger model. I call it the anchor because it weighs 14 oz and drags down my jacket on one side. Gonna need a belt and holster for summer, IF I bother to carry the thing at all. Maybe I can resurrect one of my old camera bags.

Now I read where a new more efficient battery eventually will allow for smaller, lighter phones.

So-o-o-o-o- here we go again. Wonder which really scarce, high priced, possibly polluting, and requiring sweat labor to mine type element they will dig up for this one?

Did he take that picture with a Brownie camera?

My living room, when I was a little kid, didn’t have a TV. Yeah, I’m that old. However, that was because the TV reception was nonexistent because of military bases around us. We got a TV when I was in the 3rd grade because we moved away from there.

Bought a 26” console in the mid ‘90s. So proud of it and it was the biggest tv you could get! Now I’m up to 50” wall mounts…

Yes, the logic there eludes me also…..

I don’t think my living room was ever a kid.

The question is "how did you watch anything on that small a TV with four other people crowding you on the couch ?

LOL! Love it!

I remember when the first TV came out…5” screen…black and white and signed off every night at 12:00 midnight, with the American flag waving…them were the days….

Ants have smart phones? I was shocked when I learned Clams have legs, but this is too much.

lmfao

Ten inch Packard Bell, 1950 or 51. First program I watched was a western. Instead of focusing on TV size, color of the number of channels, I’ll opine about the sharp decline in good, intelligent programming over the last 70 years. Most of it just insipid cotton candy pablum. Now I selectively watch stuff on my 27" MAC monitor from Netflix, Amazon or Gaia. No longer have cable or a TV set. Only things I miss are the Rose Parade, the Super Bowl and presidential addresses, all of which I could get by streaming, even though it isn’t free. And Jerry Orbach as Detective Briscoe in the ORIGINAL Law and Order episodes.
