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 TV 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.
