Television has come along way since it was created in 1972. The first purpose of the tv was to just take videos and broadcast them to the world so you did not have to necessary be at that place to see something happen like a concert, or the space shuttles at NASA take off. But, it has now also become a source of entertainment more than anything. It has become much more than pictures on a screen.

For one thing, tv is used as a source of bonding between families. For things like movie night or just sitting on the couch around the day, your entire family can be watching something you all enjoy and laugh about it, or maybe it is something relatable specifically to your family.

Another thing that the television has helped aid is the communication across the world. You can turn on the news or any type of informational show and learn about what is going on in the world or in your country or in your state, or even just in your county. Television can also be knowledgeable in the sense of learning. There are lots of different programs about nature documentaries, history shows, even children’s shows implement some kind of learning for the child. A tv might also not be used for just watching shows. They have come to develop tv’s that you can hook up other devices with to project them onto the tv to make it bigger like in a classroom setting. Making it easier for a class to learn.

Television has come such a long way in only 50 years and is one of the most useful tools we have as people. Who knows what the future might have in store for what the television might be capable of.
