Your comment made me realize how some younger people have no idea of, or at least no first-hand experience of static on TV and radio since it is all digital now

- LilBytes 3y agoMy great grandparents had a black and white TV when I was a toddler, and I'm 36! The amount of change millennials and the generations before and after us have seen is boggling. I was out in country Victoria, Australia a few months back and the internet was TERRIBLE. I'm talking, JPG's loading line by line terrible. And this was on 'alleged' 4G. I felt pretty nostalgic for all of 2-3 minutes before I started pulling my hair out. I feel nostalgic about it again now.

- brabel 3y agoI have a super modern flatscreen. Sometimes, when it can't connect to the laptop it shows what I believe is "simulated" static noise! I love that :D
