In terms of TV, have we really moved a long way forward from those
dark (quite literally once the last evening broacast ended) days? For
the price of our TV licence, our aerials now bring us 4 or 5 channels.
Any more than that requires extra equipment (a Freeview box, cable box
or satellite receiver). For a good variety of channels we also need to
pay a subscription fee, to a choice of - erm - now there's a thing.
For the one-off purchase of a relatively cheap extra box and no
subscription at all we have all the existing channels in widescreen,
Film 4, BBC4 and News 24. That much is an improvement on its own.
Admittedly there's a load of rubbish as well, and if it had been
properly organised we could have had it several years sooner and
probably with better picture and sound quality, but at least we've got
it.
