Tivo Blues

By Alex Tabarrok on Television

I am on holiday in Canada. Never having known anything different, the children are terribly confused and distraught to find that at Nana's house their shows are not on whenever they want them to be on.

I use the opportunity to tell them about progress - when Daddy was little he had to get off the couch just to change the channel! - I refrain from further explaining that the CPI does not adequately account for improvements in the quality of life.
