"10,9, ignition sequence start, 6,5,4,3,2,1, zero. All engines running. Liftoff! We have a liftoff! Thirty-two minutes past the hour. Liftoff on Apollo 11!" (Apollo 1) It all began with the emotions that the new television brought to the average family. The television was not popular until the 1950s (before). The tv was not so popular because of the price this tehnology had in the 1950s. As time passed on it began to get cheaper and cheaper, obviously this made it more affordable for family to obtain.
Before the television there was also many things going on and other things that were used as communication and entertainment. Everybody had a busy life. Most children would entertain themselves and have some fun and play outside (Before 1). Kids were active and lived a healthy lifestyle while they had fun and made friends. As a whole family, they would read or play games together (Before 1). As communication, they did not have the tv for the use of communication yet in the 1940s or anytime earlier. The main source of communication was the radio, this was also used for entertainment such as music or news (Before 1).
Little by little everything began to change while the evolution of the television came about. Soon, familys and other things would not be the same anymore. After the television was being made, many changes began to occur. Many children would not be playing outside, something very similiar to how it is now. Kids would rather waych tv and be entertained then going outisde and playing with there neighbors. Children also began to be more lazy. Most people would say that some even got more obess and gained much weight. The average famly would now rather be home and entertained than play games together.

    In conclusion, I will say that television has changed the way families were and are because when parents use television as a baby sitter they began to lose touch with their children. Also, television affected how a child would progress physically or mentally. We as parents should spend more time with our children and cut down the television time. The relationships that build between parents and children throughout their lives have a long lasting impact on what kind of person he or she will become.

  • Postwar America: The Golden Age of Television

    1253 Words  | 3 Pages

    The ‘Golden Age of Television’ is what many refer to as the period between the 1950s and 60s when the television began to establish itself as a prevalent medium in the United States. In 1947, the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), and the Du Mont Network were the four main television networks that ran stations with regular programming taking place. (Television, 2003) While regular television programming was a new innovation, the television itself had been commercially available for over twenty years prior to the 50s. It was conceived by many worldly innovators and went through several testing stages before it was finally completed in the late twenties. The three main innovators were Niplow - who first developed a rotating disk with small holes arranged in a spiral pattern in 1884, Zworykin - who developed the Iconoscope which could scan pictures and break them into electronic signals (a primitive form of the Cathode Ray Tube) in 1923, and lastly Fansworth - who demonstrated for the first time that it was possible to transmit an electrical image in 1927. (Rollo, 2011) However, one of the many reasons why this medium was successful in the 50s was due to the fact that it became more accessible to the public. Television sets were more affordable to middle class citizens which created further interest in the new technology. Through an historical account of the medium, the spread of television across America throughout this particular decade will be examined.

    Brieanna- The overall statement Winn explains is that televisions have a negative influence on family rituals and individual lives. In high school, my life revolved around my dance schedule. At least five times a week I would miss out on eating dinner with my family at the dinner table. I would be eating a microwavable dinner in the car. My brother is also heavily involved in soccer and there were some days where I wouldn’t even see him. The only chance I had time to sit down and spend time with my family and talk about our day was in front of the television watching a reality TV show. Television in

    One effect TV has had on how we view things is in the area of advertisement. A few weeks ago in English, my class had quite a discussion on the subject of commercials. A person can tell what type of society they live in by simply watching the commercials during any TV program. One example, in America, is the numerous ads for various types of medication. From this, it is easy to see that our society cares a lot about health care and making sure that they feel healthy.

    Throughout the 1950s, executives experimented with the television and how to use it effectively. In the beginning, producers struggled with the new technology–introducing visual transitions or the beginning use of graphics to accompany news, which were mostly crude line drawing (Barkin 28-29). But, in 1963 (some pinpoint the exact day to be November 22, 1963) the television cemented itself as a mass medium–an integral part of American culture–and the “Big Three,” television networks (CBS, NBC, and ABC) established themselves at the forefront of innovation in the field (35).
