My highly "connected" kids could not fathom that when I was their age, television programmes did not start until 3pm and ended at midnight. Growing up with access to 24-hour satellite TV and high-speed broadband, their idea of entertainment and communication is fast-paced and interactive, and involves electronics gadgets.
Imagine their surprise when I told them about black-and-white TV! Once, when we couldn't locate our remote control, my son was shocked to discover that he could change the channel and volume by pressing some buttons on the TV and decoder. "Just like old times!" I told him.
