Why "Jack Bauer" is Responsible for "Bonkers TV"

Of course, VCRs allowed TV audiences to time-shift their viewing for years, but programming them could be cumbersome, and you had to have a physical tape. But DVRs made recording shows easy for even technophobes; so easy that some of us might have forgotten where and when they were shown (making the concept of “airing” increasingly archaic). We also lost the discipline of paying attention to a show while it’s on, because we could now pop back eight seconds if we missed a piece of dialogue or pause it to go to the kitchen. You know how irritating it is to watch TV in a hotel room? We used to live like that all the time. So true, I hate watching tv in hotels while on business trips . . . you have to watch it like the old days. ;) |
Just bring a device with you, plug it into the tube :D
