Today in History: First color TV set manufactured

in history •  5 years ago 

We had quite a few black and white TV's when I was a kid. It was crazy to think that it was almost the normal thing to have. We had one bigger color TV in a wooden cabinet. I remember the first time we got a TV that had the cable tuner built in. It was mind blowing. Along with the first TV that had a remote. That was nuts too!

I remember my childhood television. Those cabinets were meant to be beutiful. I think ours was made of some sort of fine timber and mom kept it polished. It weighed as much as a mini-cooper so it stayed exactly where it was in that house for the entire time we lived there. I think when we moved to another city we just left it in the house.

I was the remote and the beast only had 12 channels unless you count those strange UHF ones. I don't remember if we had cable but thinking about how frugal my family was in those times, I seriously doubt it.
