NxtUp...Back Then

PictureSound*

Gawd! Some peoplw will not recognize this. I Can barely remember having one.

"GE made toys: the Show’n Tell Picturesound machine. This is the sleeve of the “program,” which consisted of a record and a film strip. Simple idea: put the film strip in the “television,” play the scratchy lo-fi record, and thrill to TV that looks just like a slide show. Now kids aren’t just free from the tyranny of the printed word – their minds are no longer taxed by the effort of following the moving picture!"
