CRT contrast ratios were unmatched until plasma. LEDs never compared until OLED. Flat screen CRT HDTVs were amazing.

I don’t feel nostalgic for the dark times when our televisions weighed 80 lbs just to beam us an inferior image. Sure, maybe for when being a teenager at the mall meant meeting girls and having a good time with friends walking around, buying nothing because we were all broke. But only the social aspects were better. I’ll take today’s entertainment any day of the week.

Hey, we socialized in person more before smart phones. There are a lot of studies that say so. But this isn’t even an appeal to authority. I remember the first time seeing a couple sitting across from each other in a restaurant, both staring at their phones. My buddy and I gave each other a look. It’s everyone now.

The quality of the media was not as good perhaps but I do miss when the world moved just a little bit slower.
No 24h news cycle, no social media, no being pressured to be connected and available to work at all times.
