The Power of the Television
Like most inventions, television was the combination of earlier technological developments and not the creation of a single ‘creative genius.’ Its history can be traced in the developments of radio, motion pictures, photography, and the electronic camera. Although much of this technology had existed for some time, the first experimental broadcasts did not take place until the mid- 1920s. These broadcasts took place more or less simultaneously in Hungary, the Soviet Union, the USA and Germany.

Regular television transmissions began in 1936 in Britain, and in 1939 in the USA. Television was forced to close down completely in Britain throughout the Second World War and it was not until after the war that television was able to grow as a medium, in part thanks to military technology and expertise. It was during the 1950s that television overtook cinema as the most popular medium of entertainment for the majority of the population in Europe and North America. This phenomenon of television becoming the most powerful medium of communication around the world has occurred alongside industrialization and the resulting changes in living standards throughout the world. Today Television is even considered by most people around the world to be a necessity and not a luxury item in the home. Television’s worldwide power and influence can be seen in the priority television stations give to reporting and showing war pictures on camera. The picture of war and its aftermath can now be brought into the home through the television. Likewise, television’s power is evident in the billions of dollars advertisers pay to television stations to advertise their products to a watching world.
