I am so old I remember when the tv in the house was black and white, I have to walk over it to change station and adjust the volumne. It also did not run all night.

Now......tv have internet and a little camera, I am not impress with the camera there, I insist that my family do not have the internet connect on that TV. Then I read somewhere that the mobile phone can also listen as well.....I am scare to think of these things and remind me of the book 1984, I have yet finish reading that book because it scares me to no end.

Yesterday in the news it says that travellers be prepared to get finger printed as they land in EU.
