Wonderful!

That TV must have a strong will. Most sets can stand showing all that televised dreck for only a few years before they commit suicide.

I suppose little or nothing in the way of entertainment device from our time will survive in 70-odd years.

It's not a contest, though the topic is clearly of some interest.
