Todd: So Mark, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?
Mark: I'm 31.
Todd: 31. OK, and so you probably don't remember but like... I'm 37 and I remember watching television with no remote control. Like just the big square box you have to go up and turn.
Mark: Yeah, I remember that.
Todd: Was it the same when you were a kid?
Mark: That's right. I think I actually had a TV like that up until about ten years ago when I was at a university student.
Todd: Really.
Mark: Yeah, you just pressed on the button.
Todd: You know actually, the remote control is so much more convenient 1 but I actually miss having to turn the knob 2 because you don't have so many choices. You know. Like, you pick a channel and you stick with it and then you watch it, but with the remote control you just want to flick 3, flick, flick.
Mark: Yeah, I call it flick-a-vision. Yeah. I quite like flick-a-vision.
Todd: So what's flick-a-vision?
Mark: Well, just when you watch each channel for maybe a minute or two and then change, change, change, change. Yeah, I often do that. Like you say you don't focus 4 on the whole program.
Todd: Right. And it's terrible when you're sitting with somebody else and they have the remote control and they keep flicking 5 away.
Mark: Right, that causes a lot of family fights in my house. Yeah.
Todd: Well, actually, you are a newly 6 married man, so do you have any remote control wars with your wife?
Mark: Recently no. Not at the moment because I am living in a very small house with a small room. It's quite easy to get up and turn over the TV without using the remote. But we're not fighting at the moment but I can see in the future we will be so the key there is probably to have two rooms with two TVs.
