In the last (AA) of the non-digital age, we find producer Jeff Ruhe in the ABC control center in Hollywood, surrounded by a world-record 77 TV sets. All of them analog. All of them obsolete.

The year was 1984. 1984. 1984.

    If you look close, you can make out some sort of "newspaper" on the right.

    This was the primary method of disseminating timely information to the people.
