    “The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.” W. Gibson.

    It’s wild that this makes no, or little at most, sense to entire generations now.

      Ha I remember that. I also recall someone in the 80s there was a pop song popular in Poland, entitled “Glass Weather”. It was about these rainy autumn evenings when there’s nothing better to do than sit in front of your (black and white) TV. The lyrics were mentioning “apartment window blue from the TV glow”.
