Through technological advancements, the television has had
various designs from big boxy structures to widths as thin as a pencil. Not
only have televisions become more convenient to transport in relation to its
weight, but they have also gained incredibly realistic visual experiences for
the viewer. The quality that televisions can portray nowadays would have been
unthinkable before advancements created this possibility. When televisions
first came into existence, it was not easy for everyone to afford it as it was
more of a luxury for the wealthy. As said in a previous blog, people would
crowd around stores that had televisions playing outside of the door. However,
it was apparent that the television would become a huge part of people’s lives
in the future and therefore owning a television became an option for people of
less class, proliferating its popularity all around the world.
“The TV has become a piece of furniture as commonplace as
the dinner table and far more worshipped.”
Televisions developed into better quality visuals, the
structures became slimmer, and other advancements that made the television a
machine that became a part of almost every household. It furthered and made
easier communication for the public as well as another source of entertainment.
Although it made public communication more available, especially to the less
wealthy, it can be debated that the television can royally taken away the
cherishment of family time. The television had changed the atmosphere of family
life in homes, some can say for the better and others can say for the worst. It
used to be that families sat around a dinner table together and discussed their
lives and experiences. However, it transitioned into families sitting around a
dinner table and watching the television, droning out cherished moments of
family time. It is controversial but I for one think it is important for
families to keep the television off during dinner and watch it together
afterwards.
