The television I grew up with—a Quasar from the early 1980s—was more like a piece of furniture than an electronic device. It was huge, for one thing: a roughly four-foot cube with a tiny curved screen.

I remember the screen being covered in a fuzzy layer of static as we tried to watch Hockey Night in Canada.
