Hey everything electronic or "technical" used to be huge! I remember as a kid our neighbors had the first color tv on the block...we all gathered at their house that first Sunday night to watch Bonanza...which was one of the very few color programs even on tv at the time. Their TV was huge, or at least looked huge to me at the time. I would bet the screen was probably no bigger than 19" though but the entire set itself was gigantic. They also had one of the first home stereo systems...speakers the size of a small refrigerator and you could hear every scratch or piece of dust on the....record...yes...an LP record...which probably held about 12 songs and we all ooohed and aaahed at the great sound. Today we have tv's that fit on your wall like a picture frame and has a clearer picture than looking out a window. An iPod can fit in your shirt pocket, hold hundreds of songs and has speakers smaller than hearing aids and deliver sound so clean and pure you feel like you are sitting in a concert hall...amazing!Originally Posted by TurcoLoco
It looks bigger than my apartment...
Heck, my Uncle had one of the first microwave ovens I had seen and it was also gigantic, he had to build a table to sit it on...it was the size of an igloo cooler! Now they fit on small trays or up under your cabinets.
