The victim of old tv channel

 B&W Television, originally uploaded by forester401.

 

*The photo I picked up via seach in flickr with keywords “old tv.”

I grew up in Kumamoto city, the southern part of Japan in my childhood, where they had only two tv channels (channel 11 for RKK, channel 6 for TKU) except for two NHK channels (which make four channels in total). Even folks in Tokyo had only four or five tv channels back then and, still even today, we have only channels 4,6,8,10, and 12 national tv networks here in Tokyo.

Over time, our minds (mine for one, obviously) have been tamed and we tend to think the tv channels must be about the selection from a few.  Even more so for my parents’ generation.  But the notion would sound totally irrelevant to the generations of my daughter who have never used the old tv set but instead are getting accustomed to keyboard and touch panel.

I think it is the matter of timing until the younger generations will start wondering why there are only 12 buttons available in todays’ tv controller.

The tv section of print newspaper is already full and to me it seems they are ready to boast.

    Can I simply just say what a comfort to uncover someone who really understands what they’re talking about online. You actually realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people should read this and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you aren’t more popular given that you surely have the gift.

    It isn’t a vеry clear time thаt Moncler, in france they classical jacket brand, hаs conquered so many stars suddenly, as thеіr necessity garments in cold. Maybe thіs brand Moncler isn’t familiar by everybody. Furthermore јust knew іt recently. It wаs built by thrеe Frenchmen fifty years ago. It is very popular іn European us. It belongs tо the ѕаmе level with LV, GUCCI аnd PARDA brands. So іts expenditure is worth ѕеvеrаl dollars more than. That decides іts consumption groups are wealthy stars аnd businessmen, whіle ordinary people do not want іt almost all. While today, I could be certain to inform you, you саn get еасh fashion moncler italia Substances thаt аre terrible. Moncler Clothing you like, just with the lowest price. Select longer ideal.

    I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A small number of my blog visitors have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari. Do you have any recommendations to help fix this issue?

    First of all I want to say excellent blog!
    I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your
    head prior to writing. I have had a hard time clearing my mind in getting
    my ideas out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes
    are generally lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
    Any recommendations or hints? Thank you!

    All the cold winter months Moncler clothing yоu are after. But remember, іt isn’t recommended they spend long periods of amount of thе cold winter tracked. Even if theу have the thickest layers of clothing, after being exposed toо much, these kinds of at potential for gettіng feeling bad. Have thеm takе short breaks once іn а while tо warm them together with а cup оf hot cocoa. After playing outside, give them a hot bath tо expel thе cold. Energy ѕо manу well-known stars fond in Moncler? I’m guessing thе most critical reason can bе as follows. There hаvе been suсh as moncler coats men jackets,moncler italia women jackets,Moncler kids jackets аѕ anyway.

    I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe
    you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
    with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having
    1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

    Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but
    I’m having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to
    ask!

    Hey there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was
    wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?

    I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers
    and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
