Imagine you're streaming a TV show online when suddenly it pauses and...
you check to see what the problem is, even though you already know, and it's

THIS!
You probably can't do much, maybe click about the screen and curse a bit.
But back in the 90s, when you were watching a TV show and it suddenly went all fuzzy, you could get quite physical.
Those wire-things atop the TV box set (antennas) could be fiddled with, although it often took mathematical precision to get it into the right spot where you could see the picture clearly again.
There was also the option of banging on the top of the TV, as it holds enough space for two fists, unlike nowadays where TVs and laptops are pancake thin.
Oh, the good old days.
It took my parents eight years to finally change to a more modern TV set.
There was a SEC store along the row of shops near my house and the first time my family visited, it was to replace the old air-conditioner we had that leaked water until it finally gave out hot instead of cold air.

One of the staff spoke and patiently answered all the questions my parents had, while I wandered around the shop looking at all the electronics I could never afford as a kid, and stared longingly at the newest television set that fitted half my reflection.
Wowww...
I ran back to where my parents were, wanting to show them the wonder that I'd seen, and they were signing up for the SEC Status Card.
The staff told them that it was RM12, and my parents didn't need to pay for the delivery of the air-cond to our house. The team that delivered the air-cond even installed it for us and made sure that it was working before they left.
If our old air-cond had been a fire-breathing dragon, the new one we bought from SEC was a shiny new knight decked in white.

The second time I visited SEC was when our washing machine reached old age and my sister needed a hairdryer.
If I'd thought the TV I saw on my first trip was big, this time, it had somehow grown even larger. I peered at my reflection in the shiny screen and realised that there were so many more treasures behind me to be explored, so I left the TV to inspect the various types of radios, laptops, cameras, and mobile phones.

It was like a wonderland of electronics!
Finallyyy...my dad miraculously decided to buy a new TV for the house. I walked into SEC feeling like my dream of eight years was finally coming true!
The thing is, great as SEC's shops are, there is nothing quite like the feeling of a new TV set sitting in your own living room.
