Discussion: The Influence of TV
In 1925, the Scottish inventor John L. Baird was able to first transmit recognizable human features by television. By 1938, there were only about 30,000 television sets in existence in the United States of which over 20,000 were in New York City (in the same year, there were almost 2 million radios in Great Britain alone!). But, by the 1950s, television was rapidly becoming a staple in most U.S. household and was gaining ground in other countries too.
Today, television can be found almost everywhere there is electricity. Television has become a major source of entertainment, news, and other information, for several billion people worldwide.
Much has been written about this remarkable invention and the role it has played in social history of the 20th Century. Most importantly, television news has become a worldwide phenomenon through news organizations such as Cable News Network (CNN), and other public and private networks.
