      The blue sky is now forgotten. When I asked a bunch of 20somethings about what a dead channel on a TV would look like, they all thought for a bit and then said Black.

      I feel like we need to have youtube clips of static that professors can show students when teaching Neuromancer.

          Doesn't the HBO opening logo have static on it? So they might not have realised what it was but they may have experienced it.

          One thing about classic television static, is that with modern video compression, you can't record it and play it back on YouTube and have it look right.

          I loved that opening line in Neuromancer. But in retrospect, that sentence sticks out like a continuity error in a film: The word “television” appears in Neuromancer exactly one time — in that first sentence. The rest of the novel never mentions TV again.

          Good luck getting it to come out as anything but big blocking artifacts.
