television now. Not enough controls on it. All TV shows
need a scroll bar along the bottom for instance, to make
them analogous to YouTubes. Since television generally
doesn’t have that, I discontinued my cable service about
three years ago. My TV is now a DVD player only.</span></p>

Record it or get it on Hulu or Amazon or Apple TV and scroll to your
heart's content. What TV I watch I almost never watch in real
time. For some of the services you lose the commercials too.<br>

was puzzling over their television, which he had never
really seen. He figured out the remote can change the
channel, but soon realized that there are only about 50
channels, none of which carried anything that particularly
interested him, nor that he could control directly. He
lost interest after a few minutes and went back to his
internet enabled computer.</span></p>

I heard a cute apocryphal story of a 3 year old messing around
behind the TV. When his parents asked him what he was doing he said
"I'm looking for the mouse." :)<br>
