Home theater seating for everyone - beepers banned

Young people today have no idea how lucky they are to have the ability to watch movies at home, in great conditions, with no commercials. Not too long ago, that was a privilege only the rich, especially movie people, had. When I watched TV, not only were we limited to 3 major (and a couple of local, minor) channels, but all movies were cut up by blocks of commercials, which I used to hate. And of course you could watch only whatever movie they were broadcasting. Cable TV removed the commercials, but you still had to watch whatever they were broadcasting. Video cassette players allowed you to watch whatever movies you could find to rent. And now there's so much equipment you can your own theater with home theater seating for everyone in your family and friends.
