Paul Carson@kriegaffe Some time back my youngest nephew asked me what iPads were like when I was his age.
I was his age in 1977.
Looking for explanations…@karsoe @kriegaffe We had a colour tv!!! 😂

Wonderdog@tooheymatthew @Susan60 @karsoe @We had a 14 inch black and white tv until after I’d left home (1985) my parents didn’t buy a colour tv until 1988!
@Wonderdog @tooheymatthew @Susan60 Just in time for the Bicentennial! :)
My olds were relatively early colour telly adopters, pretty sure we got our first colour set in 1976. I inherited the dodgy old 14" B&W "backup" set so I could watch "that silly stuff" (dad's words) while dad watched the nightly news in colour.
Oddly enough, "that silly stuff" was on the ABC: Dr. Who, The Goodies, and Countdown.
We got our first VCR in 1983 and for me, being a huge film nerd, that was life-changing.
@karsoe @Wonderdog @tooheymatthew I don’t remember when we got our first colour Tele, but it was very early. We’d had an old B&W in a square dark wooden cabinet.
