I can remember when people watched their radio.
I think many got more entertainment in those days than what they are getting today.
I think so too. Imagination must be as extinct as the dodo bird.

One only has to spend some time listening to old programs from the 1940's and early 1950's to get some understanding of that profound statement you just made regarding "imagination". From the Adventure of dramas, Sam Spade, Dragnet and Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar to the comedic episodes of Amos & Andy, The Great Gildersleeve, Fibber McGee and Molly, Red Skelton and Jack Benny to name just a very few. Also those behind the scenes which worked to make the shows even more encompassing such as the sound effects technicians. Those LIVE episodes really showed the talent of those participating in the shows in as much for their accuracy and memorization of the lines given to their innate ability to improvise when something went afoul or messed up.
