We have come a long way in such a short time from these which I remember so well. I remember the first black and white TV set that my parents bought in the early sixties. Can you imagine three small kids playing inside the box that had contained the TV!
I grew up on a farm in country Victoria where 240V power was not connected until the mid 1960s so there was no TV.
We were on what was called 'a party line' telephone where you knew whether a rare telephone call was for you by the number of times the phone rang. To make a call you turned a handle on the phone to connect to the local telephone exchange!
