Interesting, but sad & distressing article. Makes me feel old. This sounds corny, but I sometimes joke with friends who are a couple years younger than I am... I tell them that I am older because if we were TV sets, I would be a roundie (born in early '67) and they would be rectangular. Some get it, and some need it explained. But soon, they won't even know what a tube is.
And one more thing, the article is about a decade off in chronology:
(quote) "The CRT has served us well for many many years — since the early 1930s into the golden age of television and the advent of color in the 60s," said LG's Taylor. "The longevity of that technology is probably second to none in our industry, but time marches on, and flat panels have really captured the enthusiasm of the American public." (Unquote)
