We continued to discuss the world of Television this week in our Wednesday class. Theres is so much to talk about when on the topic of TV and how it has changed our world. TV stars are some of the most influential people one our planet. They have all of the attention, so they also have a platform to speak on and share their opinion. TV has shot up like a rocket overtime. Like every technological advancement, it took time for the TV to really lift off even though it was mind blowing from the start. it became a household object which meant everyone was watching the same thing, the same people, the same platform and TV service.

We focused more on the power that Woman brought to the world of Television. A lot of older shows were focused on men but then Women started entering the game of TV and then never looked back. We watched a film from the “Pioneers of Television” called “Funny Ladies”. I think we watched this film because of the one very pivotal actor in that film. Lucille Ball was part of the first wave of women that really got their feet when in acting. I Love Lucy is one of the most iconic TV shows of all time and she was the star. It’s a very old show and it has been for a while being in all black and white. However, even though it is old, everyone knows that show. I am only 19 years old and I have known about that show since I was a small child. We then had to watch a film and read about a girl named “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”. The episode we had to watch was called “Hush”. The whole concept of the show was really good. A group of mystic “ghouls” called “The Gentlemen” steal everyones voices leaving everything silent. It took a very unique approach to this episode which made me very intrigued. It was even nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a drama series. In the end of the episode Buffy fights and eventually wins everyone’s voices back by destroying the “voice box”

Television will only keep getting more advanced and better. The more into the future we get, the more efficient the idea of the TV will be. It’s so hard to even guess what kind of changed will happen to the TV. With VR becoming a popular feature to watching things, who knows what else could happen. very exciting to think about. We can’t forget though that the past history of TV paves the road for the future. TV will forever be a impactful object in our lives. As we get into the future, TV might become a mandatory thing. There will always be people who don’t use a TV but I’m really not sure how long we’ll be able to confidently say that. From the beginning of TV watching the first Moon launch to now, millions and billions of dollars are put into shows every year. I don’t see this field of work stopping or even slowing down anytime soon.
