TV in Viet Nam
Thirty years ago in Viet Nam, very
few people had TV sets. These TV
owners were very popular. After
dinner, their neighbors gathered both
inside and outside their houses. Some
watched through the windows.

All evening, they sat and watched the
black and white programs. The older
people might sleep a little and the
children might play with their friends,
but no one went home until the
programs finished.

Times have changed. Today, many
families have a TV set. People sit in
their own living rooms and watch TV.
Life is more comfortable now, but
many neighbors don’t spend much
time together any more.
