Our kids have no idea...Now they have paper thin light weight tvs with the most vivid and nrightest color I have ever seen. The LED technology is sweet. No gigantic tubes. No need for gigantic furniture to hold a gigantic tv. TV's now come in 3 sizes, large, extra large and extra extra large...lol
Take your pick of flat, ultra flat, or paper thin..Your tv can interact with you if you have a SMART TV. Instantly stream music and movies. No need to go to the video rental store or record shop. Want what you are watching to jump off the screen and scare the total crap out of you? Welcome to 3d television... This list goes on and on...You could write a post or 2 just about the advancement of the television. Thanks @dwhntx.
