Hammad Abdullah recalls what life was like in Egypt before television entered people’s homes, when cinema, radio, and books were among the main sources of entertainment and knowledge. Families listened to radio programs and plays, Umm Kulthum, and football matches. He remembers the cinemas and public transport in Cairo and Giza, and reading works by Tawfiq al-Hakim and Naguib Mahfouz at a young age. The writer believes that television’s arrival in homes on July 21, 1961, gradually changed life, and expresses regret over what he sees as a decline in knowledge.
