NEW - Why Some People Still Refuse to Give Up CRT TVs

Some people still insist a CRT television shows colour that no flat screen can replicate, and tech expert Carmi Levy says it is the same instinct that keeps vinyl records and cassette mixtapes alive. He walks through exactly what made those old sets both beloved and genuinely dangerous, radiation warnings included. Carmi also remembers being the designated kid who made every new piece of technology work, sweating through VCR hookups at seven years old with his whole family watching, and what it felt like when a local TV repairman could actually fix a broken set instead of replacing it. That repair culture is gone now. Carmi explains how flat screens went from prized purchases to disposable objects nobody bothers fixing anymore.
