Oh, they might believe the 'lectricity. But I don't think they quite appreciate the tiny black and white television experience, the rotary telephone, or the utter lack of videogames. Not to mention cordboards!

Color tellys were _available_ ... but not everybody had one in '64. I think we may have gotten our first in '65. (Once you'd seen an episode of Flipper in color at a friend's house, it really sucked to go back to watching it in B&W at home.)
