Survey: Rabbit Ears

Posted by orange blossom special on Fri Aug 16 15:27:13 2019

Who doesn't know what Rabbits ears are? Or even an Antenna?

Everyyear after the Superbowl, I read articles about people trying to stream the Superbowl game, and technical issues. It's on my television just fine. I didn't miss the end of it last year, except I wasn't watching it.

Last year I read in the WSJ about people who didn't know about television antenna's. One democrat wondered if that's considered stealing television.

Locally, I'm in some neighborhood listserv that I really need to unsubscribe from. After DirectTelevision dropped CBS, we're up to too many posts to count of people who have never heard of an antenna. People are asking how you install one. One guy is charging $75 to put one on your television and show you how it works. Another is asking what's the name of an antenna to get one at walmart. I think some of these people even bought converter boxes, which you don't need if your TV isn't 20 years old.

I KNOW everyone on earth is not under 25 years old. WTF world am I in?

I have an antenna. I know Sallam has one. Selkirk would've known how it works.

On a similar note. I gave up on people when I was posting technology related comic strips on a group board. Mid-western middle-Americans have never seen a comic strip from a newspaper before. Since I KNOW they weren't teenagers I ghosted after that.
I could rant for days.
