In the movie “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears” is an episode from 1959, in which the cameraman says: “Soon there will be no cinema, no theater, there will be only one television.” Of course, in our time, television is a very serious competitor – the Internet, but still over half a century it has become a part of our lives, and become the object of folklore …
Take, for example, such a saying: “TV – a window to the world, through which evaporates almost all our free time!”
The woman in the marriage office explains, no matter what her husband wanted to have, “He should be polite, have wide interests, to love animals, to tell me all sorts of funny stories to report news and rumors and never let me interrupt. ” – “In this case, you need no husband, and TV”.
The husband complains to his wife: “Fanny! Imagine, all day on TV showed a fire.” – “Need to drink less! TV yesterday taken to the repair, and you spent the whole day in front of a fireplace!”
With the invention of the remote control prevail lazy : because now they did not have get up off the couch, even to switch programs. But here’s the paradox – the inventor of this much needed in everyday life stuff, the American engineer Robert Adler, his life could not tolerate his first TV and panels, which are widely began to be introduced in 1956, called the “Blab-off”, ie, “stop talking! “. In the first model consoles, by the way, there was only one button that allows you to mute (Adler particularly annoying annoying, aggressive and pushy advertising).
