There was a comment here a few months ago about a person bringing their young child to visit somebody in the hospital.

The patient had a TV in their room, so they handed the child the TV remote, and the child asked how can they fast-forward the current show.

But what's the harm in this? Before DVRs there were plenty of times when I was interested in watching TV but nothing interesting was on. This wasn't some well of untapped discovery to be cherished. It was just 2pm and all that was on was soap operas.

A remote. How high tech. And I assume the TV was in color too. Kids these days are so spoiled. :-)
