Monday Morning Humor: Remember the First Wireless Remote TV Channel Changer!

I guess child labor laws were different from what I remember?

Do you remember the 1970s, a time when bell-bottoms were the height of fashion, disco ruled the airwaves, and children had the distinguished role of being the family's TV remote control. Yes, fellow lawyers, before the era of smart devices and voice-activated assistants, the most advanced technology in the living room was a youngster with quick reflexes. "Change the channel, would you?" was a common request, met with a groan but executed with the speed of a courtroom stenographer. It's a far cry from today's tech-savvy legal world, where we navigate complex software with ease. But let's not forget our roots — a time when channel surfing required actual surfing across the living room carpet! So next time your legal software takes a few extra seconds to load, remember the good ol' days of manual channel changing. It's all about perspective!

Happy Lawyering!
