Media Maniac: Television

The television is also used to entertain with talk shows, news, music videos and etcetera. What makes the television better than the radio is that you have an actual visual image, which may help the audience understand better the topic being discussed.  Though the radio is used to entertain especially with music for many but there are also many controversial and informative topics discussed via sports or radio shows. The television is able to better understand the discussion or sports show visually. 

The television also helped bring the nation together during times of depression.  It brought the nation together through the news, stories, and the ability to enjoy a common experience.

As far as technology is concerned the television can be watched and viewed by many in various places.  One is even able to watch television in a car.  Though it is a safety hazard it is nice to have that option.  Because of its continued improvement in the technical area it will never just disappear.    

With the new development of being able to watch television viewings from all over the world, one is able to connect and understand another’s culture through television alone.
