When I was a kid, we couldn't afford a color TV
I didn't know anyone that had one
I remember watching shows like Outer Limits, Wild Wild West, Andy Griffith, Star Trek, Lost in Space.
There was this one I think called Time Tunnel or something like that where people could travel through time
As a kid, I though you could do that
As a kid, I thought people were lost in space
Dad, will they ever get back?
Son, they are already back
Wow, good to hear...
Can we get a robot?
On the B&W, there were some knobs to adjust it
One of them controlled the frame per second
Maybe that is what you call it
If you didn't have it right, the image will go up and off the screen followed by the next one
As if you were flipping through pictures on your phone
My parents would watch Outer Limits
Surprised they didn't send me to bed
"There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the outer limits"
dad? dad? DADDDD!
They are doing it again
They are messing with our TV!
It's OK son
It's not OK Dad
TV is a way influencing public opinion
And there will come a day in your lifetime Dad
That everything around you will try to influence you
If we don't stand up for what we believe in
Who will Dad?
Time for bed Son...
What you say here Mike and others will change the outcome
It will control the horizontal and the vertical
All I can do is suggest investors be more interactive with their own investment
Non investors certainly are with your investment
Was thinking this morning, that would be a cool VERB video
"There is nothing wrong with your video
Do not attempt to sit still
We are making it interactive
We will control the tags
We control the pulsing circles
If you choose to download a document, touch your screen now
If you are looking for a dry cleaner, touch your screen now
If you choose to buy some clean pants, touch the screen now....
BTW, where is that PR the pumper promised...
He said to trust him...
