Living in the Future

As I have been working my way through the topics in Twelve, the class I have been taking at Big Picture Classes, I have created pages that I normally would not do. For example, I recently did a page about watching television. We do not watch much TV--we even had our cable service cut off recently--but there are some programs that we do really enjoy. So even though we do not have cable anymore, we can still watch our favorites on the Internet, on our iPad, through Netflix, or on Apple TV (or on a combination of these). I was thinking about how our television viewing habits have changed over the years, thus prompting the following layout:

Margaux asked me what the title meant--"Not Your Mother's TV"--and I explained to her that she and her brothers watch TV much differently than I did at her age. I can still remember the day that cable reached our house out in the county. What a day that was! We went from four channels to over twenty-five (including MTV which I and all my friends watched endlessly). I told Margaux that when I was young we actually had to get up, go to the TV, and change the channel ourselves! She said, "I'm glad I live in the future, I hate to have to get up to do anything."
