This 1974 Odyssey was supposed to be released by ITT Schaub-Lorentz in France and Germany as the ODYSSEE (and not ODYSSEY).

It is unknown whether renewed Odyssey units were just verified, as the only specimen known to exist had its hardware swapped with a later revision: originally a RUN-1 with a serial in the 7xxxxxx range, it got renewed with a RUN-2 hardware and a new serial in the 11xxxxxx range.

I unconsciously learned what McKibben points out, that television does not provide a sense of who we are and where we came from, an intimate connection with the world around us, or many basic skills.
I was not studying it or visiting it because it looked enticing on television; I lived it and didn't think twice about the subtle things I learned.
While television perhaps deserves slightly more credit than McKibben is willing to give, it is nonetheless a flat medium, absorbing in its vapidity, lacking almost any real information.
