| Air Conditioning?
Maybe electricity was not available in the 40's and 50's, but Air Conditioning?
I remember being in a well to do family and in the mid 1960's we got home air conditioners. My father worked for Philco (who made some of the best ones of that era) and it was only because of his upper level management position that he got them.
Most major department stores were not air conditioned. Sorry, but I think that people are forgetting the timeline regarding technological advances. It's great to presume that just because something is available, it should be available in all areas. Cable TV hasn't hit every rural locale, and DSL has distance limitations from a Central Office. If someone is five miles away from it and no cable company has strung 15 miles of cable to service less than 50 homes, what is the alternative? Satellite? |
