54 Years ago?

54 years ago.. no that wasn't when I was born. Am fairly sure I wasn't even a twinkle in my Father's eyes at that point. 54 years ago, WOW can you believe that it has been that long since the 1st Color televisions started coming off the assembly lines? The RCA company started mass production of their model CT-100 a 15" screen. Mind you now that RCA wasn't the 1st to make color TV's they are the ones that got the mass production going first and fast. I did a short bit of research and found that the 1st color TVs cost over $1000.00 that is a lot of money now, can you imagine what it would have been like in 1954. Just a bit of comparisons the average annual income was just over 4,100. The medium home prices your just about 22,000. A average price car cost somewhere between 1600-3000. The price of gas was .23 cents. I was just looking at the price of a TV now for a Philips Color HDTV 19" is less than $300.00. Now here is the reason why I bring this up. The average home cost over $200,000 the average price of car is somewhere near $18,000 - 23,000 the price of gas is over 3.00 a gallon. The average annual income in the US today for just one wage earner is near $36,000. We have improved the television by atleast 100% yet the cost has decreased by more than 70%. We have gone from an average of 3 channels to 100+ and if you count all the silly music channels that they say you have then you have over 150 channels. The question comes up. Why isn't there anything worth watching on Television. Just a short thought I had today.
