The Chemistry behind our Television Sets

Chemistry has had a colossal impact on the advancement of technology throughout the world. Every electronic item can acknowledge chemistry for its creation.

People will become more dependent on technology, the television included, over the years. Without chemistry, technology would be basically non-existent and we would have no clue what a television is, let alone a plasma screen.
