75 years ago today the world's first regular TV broadcast was made from Alexandra Palace in north London. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15551270

And there are many who would place that same date as the beginning of the decline in modern civilization, righto??

Corrupt youth, decrepit morals, laziness, disrespect...the list goes on and on...

Ah, one longs for the days of Radio, eh?

No, that all started with the printing press. Gutenberg and Caxton have a lot to answer for.

People have been revolting for a lot longer than 75 years.
