Video/Content

What do the subsequent generations call what we know as "TV"?

Home viewing on large screen, at least, will continue to be called TV, pretty much regardless of content or source. Television= viewing from distance. How many generations will continue to refer to devices as phones? YouTube? They've already stopped calling TV the tube.

We were of the age to call it the "boob tube" 'cause watching it made you a boob…

It was a different age, kids.

I like the idea of charging a premium subscription to access "The Pit" or whatever it's called these days. Haven't been there in years. But from what I hear it is just a place where members go to get insulted and subjected to selective censorship and/or membership. Facebook Groups, Reddit and some others are like that. X.com is open and free speech except speech that violates the law which, BTW, includes hate speech.

I don't think changing the name to "Friendly" will do anything to convince a stranger to come here. But I do believe "Satelliteguys" is outdated and no longer reflects the topics here these days. How about Technologyguys ?

I...
Don't ever call my iphone a telephone. I either communicate and record with my watch or my iphone.
Don't ever call the screen we watch video programs and movies on a Television. It's a projector or a screen.
Don't ever call my accelerator a gas pedal in my car. Like "step on the gas"
