There was a moment in time when we had no Televisions, then we relied on simple means to get information and frankly, we were happy with ourselves because we didn’t know better.
The sounds of the gongs passed a message, our voices were all we had, and if what came out were lies, we had no way of finding out the truth immediately.
Gradually, development sprang. Radios and Televisions became a part of our lives filling that void.
