Ah, my little Educationeers! Cap'n Howdy has a very special Video Daily Double for you today; a TV-tastic entry into our Summer of Sales. I know that all of you good boys and girls love to watch Television, almost as much as you love texting or tweeting or whatever the new thing is that I'm hopelessly out of touch with. Since you can control your TV with an iPhone now, I thought it might be fun to take you back to the days when TV had a loooooonnnng way to go. Sit back and enjoy what your grandparents keep referring to as "the good old days"
Be glad someone bought these, because otherwise you'd be listening to tweets on the radio!

Our first film, from 1939, is called Television. Presented by RCA, this was designed to introduce a brand new form of home entertainment to audiences everywhere, years before most of them could afford to own one. Still, it's a neat introduction to something we take for granted these days.
Our second short film doesn't have a title that I could find, but appears to be from a longer film the Cap'n also can't locate. Still, it's worth sharing for two reasons: we've updated from the earliest television sets to color TV, and this short features an early version of the remote control. Trust me, it's worth watching this just to see that remote.
