Introduction
to TV.
TV
refers to television. This invention has brought changes in
the world of technology even if there are numerous types of
technologies available in market today. This invention has
basically offered the entertainment industry to our life as
human beings and also the medium of communication including
mass media as target. At present, TV is known as one of the
best communication media channel. Furthermore today, only
very few people, perhaps those in the middle of the jungles,
have not watched TV shows because it is known that every person
watches television shows and programs.
Television
has an electronic apparatus and parts that are helpful to
show pictures and videos. This electronic device comes from
the combination of latin and greek. It was in 1930 when television
available in the market. Back then, television was limited
in terms of production and in fact it was not available for
home use. Soon after the development of TV which was very
progressive, it became very popular that in 1970’s most
of the households have availed of a television set with the
aid of tape recorders and VCR. Television not only gave entertainment
to people but also the opportunity for people to watch Hollywood
including its films.
Construction
of TV.
Television
started from a simple beginning with a monitor or screen that
displays pictures. It is very powerful that it is able to
release the videos and pictures in the air in different presentation.
Moreover, its system can transmit various programs in many
forms and presentation. At present, television has made countless
changes and improvements like making attachment and link like
cable wire your tv set with a computer and made to show and
broadcast different programs from different channels. It is
also known that cable television registered on different channels
can broadcast it.
TV
offers countless benefits
The
birth of television has made countless changes and offers
huge benefits to human beings. One of the good things that
TV has brought to man is building a limitless connection with
the rest of the world. It is as simple as sitting down in
front of a big box called television set and in a matter of
few seconds or minutes, you will know all the events in the
world. Another benefit television gives to man is reducing
the distance between countries and people. It is making the
world smaller everyday. The shows aired on television not
only provide entertainment to people but most importantly
offer information, knowledge and sustain our need of food
for the mind. A strategy in television broadcast media that
is worth noting is the trimming down of the channels based
on their functions. For example if you are watching a particular
channel with entertainment, news and support or back up channels
like star channels which include sports channels (star sports,
star plus, star news and many others) you will notice that
there is a cut down of channels. Television has in fact invaded
the world of the kids as they are very entertained by just
watching cartoon shows and other shows for the children. People
have developed social awareness about different issues around
the world as being broadcasted by television programs and
shows. The listings of TV programs and shows are made available
to people in the daily newspapers which help the viewing public
choose their own choice of programs and shows according to
their convenience.
Disadvantage
of TV
However,
as this electronic device continues to expand and conquer
most of our world, there is no doubt of ill effects of media
especially to young people. The different shows and programs
have somehow created a world of fantasy among young people.
Programs with social awareness and shows with sensitive themes
have created negative impact to people especially made the
minds of people more critical. Children are not properly guided
on the ill effects of TV shows to them and are left on their
own watching adults films and videos which led them to commit
immoralities. More often than not, television, as a very influential
medium, has made people fought maybe peacefully but forcibly.
It is a fact that the coming of television to our world has
good effects but it is also a reality that there is a need
to set boundaries on the use of it. Television stations and
networks can also take initiatives to prevent some untoward
incidents caused by some tv programs and shows. TV sets are
available in the market in many different shapes and forms:
flat panel tv and FUSE TV.
