One night, when I was six, I saw a car salesman doing a tv commercial in broad daylight. I mentioned to my aunt (she was 11) that the salesman must have been on the other side of the world because the sun was shining. She rudely tried to explain to me about pre-recorded film. I think I got that part. But I still don't understand how the images get to the tv in my house.
