Back in the early 80s, my Dad who was into all the latest gadgets, got a Sony WatchMan, which was a thing that was about the size of a large TV remote and it had a small 2"x3" B&W screen, along with a UHF/VHF tuner and antenna, and you could pick up TV stations with it. Back then, it was the most incredible piece of technology I had ever heard of, let alone had in my hands. I remember I was able to pick up Channel 4, which was NBC, and I could watch Saturday Night Live in bed, under my covers while I was supposed to be sleeping. I wish I still had it as I bet it's worth a fortune today, but it was a really cool gadget and it made me real popular with my friends, as most of my Dad's gadgets did.
