 The History of the television:

The first electronic television was created back in 1927 by Philo T. Farnsworth. It looks a lot more different now than it did back then. Now they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, as well as they now have options for multiple channels as well as different streaming services and people can now use them to play video games. The television had made a big impact then and still does to this day, with providing people with news, a space to watch their favorite television shows, as well as providing entertainment by allowing people to watch their favorite sports teams.

Before they had the television people had to rely on listening to the radio to find out any information they needed and to provide entertainment. This was something that had changed technology and peoples lives forever. Firstly it allowed for people all over to be able to watch the same thing at the same time. This was important because then everyone was getting the same information and ensured there were no discrepancies in the information that people were getting. Secondly the television replaced the radio as the main source of entertainment. This is because people could actually see what they are hearing about. It helped to keep them engaged for a longer time and help them enjoy the experience more than they could from just listening.

Economically the television made a huge impact for companies across the country. This gave companies a platform where they could produce commercials with actual visuals and show their product and how it works. This was a major breakthrough for them because they could bring in more buyers allowing for their sales to go up just because people could see the actual product and that it could benefit them. Politically this greatly helped candidates expand their campaign and get their opinions out more. They were able to broadcast their debates on television so people who may have not been able to attend could still see what was going on. This was important because people sometimes think seeing people's body language can help them decide who they are as a person.

Technologically the electronic television had a lot more benefits than the mechanical television. Firstly the electronic television had a smaller design than the mechanical. This was helpful to some people because they may not have had the space in their house to have a mechanical television or it may not have looked the way they wanted to, but had to make the exception because they still wanted it. Along with that it was also more reliable, faster, and provided clearer images. This was important because then people would not have to wait longer to view the program they wanted to. Also since the images were clearer people would have a better idea of what they were watching and helped them understand better what was going on.
