Today is the day the TV stations across the US disconnect their analog signal for the last time, switching their broadcasts entirely to a digital signal. Today marks the end of one technological era and the beginning of another. I have grown so accustomed to technological advancements happening every day that I don't often pause anymore to think about what is passing. Sure, it's been a long time since anyone has seen a UHF/VHF knob on a TV, but who would have thought we'd see a day when television signals are no longer broadcast over the air? No longer must our coat hangers live in fear of being dismanteled and repurposed for entertainment value.
Fare thee well, beloved rabbit ears... you will be remembered fondly.
