When I was about 7 years old, our television set broke. My Mother decided that she would drive over and borrow my Grandmother's set, since said Grandmother was on vacation and obviously wouldn't be using it. I didn't see the point in this, since my Grandma's set was very old and subsequently we could only watch old shows on it, not the new ones I wanted to see.
