The Invention of the Television

By far, the television is the most technological invention to benefit society. Nothing provided another way to get information across to people like the television did. The television allowed us to get the news across to people. In addition the television allowed society to know what the weather was going to be. Knowing the weather can help people decide if they want their plans to be indoors or outdoors. Finally, television allows us to see advertisements on new upcoming inventions. If there was no advertisement we wouldn’t be aware of the new and upcoming inventions. The television in the future might be more useful than what it is today.

The television allowed us to get the news to people. If it wasn’t for the television we wouldn’t know what was going on. We might be in danger and might not even know it. Some historical events might be going on in the world and we wouldn’t even be aware of it. For example, if there wasn’t for television we might not have know that a plane hit one of the twin towers on September 11th or any other historical event. With the television we are able to have visuals with the news. Unlike with the radio where you are told about the event, the television you are able to see what is going on. Getting news across to people was easy with the television.

With the television society was able to see the weather. When hurricane season came around people needed to be able to know if a hurricane was coming or how close it was. People want to be aware of what is going on around world weather wise. With Hurricane Katrina, the whole country was involved because of the television and the news. We are able to know the weather condition all over the world because of the television. We also need to be aware of the weather condition that surround us, in case we need to leave and move to another area. If a blizzard was coming people wouldn’t be aware of it if it wasn’t for the television. Getting the weather condition across to people using the television has helped society.

Advertisement has a lot to do with people buying the new and up coming invention. People see advertisements on the television on the new and upcoming invention and then go out and buy it. If there wasn’t advertisements on the television people might not be aware of the new upcoming inventions and not go out and buy it. Seeing advertisements on the side of the road isn’t the same, you don’t get to see people interacting with it and they also has a effect on it the people buy the invention or not. Television gives people the advantage to see the new and upcoming inventions because of advertisement. If advertisement isn’t what it is today and the television isn’t what it is today, people might not be aware of it. Television has a lot to do with people and if they go out and buy the invention. Getting people to buy new inventions was thanks to the television and advertisement.

Hopefully, television will hopefully get more useful as the years go on. Maybe with in the near future they television will be touch screen and we will be able to touch the screen instead of using remotes. Maybe we will be able to have the television built into every car. We might even have television everywhere you go. They might have a television built into every classroom in every school. If television is popular now, how is it gonna be in the near future. Television seems to be the most useful form of technology today, will that have a change in what it is in the future. We hope that the television betters over the years and becomes more useful.
