How is it that our old TV gets fixed after I slapped it?

706 viewsOtherTechnology

I just remembered when I was a kid(Im on my 30’s now) we had this old “box style” television. As it got older, there were times that a white thing will appear on the screen. You can still watch the show but its annoying. Imagine watching your TV while having a white curtain in front of it. One day, I got extremely furious because I was watching Smackdown and slap the side of the TV. Then, it returned to normal. I kept doing the same solution I discovered every time the white thing appears on screen until one day it stopped functioning. 😂

Not sure if it was mentioned already but the box style tv’s you’re on about if I’m not mistaken, at least in my day an part of the world, were known as tube tv’s, pretty sure it’s cause their full name was cathode ray tube, aka CRT, CRT itself was another common name I’ve heard used in other parts of the world back when they were the thing to use.

It was common to ask what’s on the tube, meaning tv shows that are on atm. It’s more than likely also why YouTube is named as such but again that’s just my common sense guess
