Television is one of many possible project communications vehicles. Everybody loves it. I do, too absolutely! It has become a basic appliance necessary in every household in the world. Why? Because what appliance can make you happy, sad, angry, fall in love, experience all sorts of emotions there all at the same time? It has become the window to the world, and you can go places with just a push of a button. It has connected billions of people who would otherwise be different from each other. It has evolved from that black-and-white box to something as extravagant as a flat-colored screen.

The Past

The television is derived from Greek and Latin words which mean “far sight” — “tele” in Greek which means “far” and “vision” as in “vis” in Latin which means “sight”. It was first made commercially available in the later part of 1930. It has become a communication apparatus in all parts of the world, at first, predominantly in the First World. Primarily, television is a source of the latest current events and entertainment.

The Present For years, the arguments surrounding the impact of television on society have been negative in general. Since its creation the television has been blamed for trying to exceed the limits of decency in the general public viewers. This is made clear due to the fact that big media networks vie for the topmost ratings for their shows. This causes these networks to set aside certain “morals” in creating these shows. Even news that is supposed to give just factual reports is succumbing to the trend to make it rather more sensational than it actually is. On the other hand, many cable stations have arisen to service very well-defined niches, where there is less competition and content is king.

The FutureThe television industry – and those affiliated with it – has a social obligation. It holds an incontestable impact – and natural consequences – on society. These consequences have been somewhat argued in history since its conception. Nevertheless, there is quite an argument as to what those consequences are, how grave the implications are and, if these consequences are relatively evolutionary with human communication. In the end, it is us, the public, who should adjust to what television has to offer. Let’s face it – television will live on longer than we ever will. Either we accept that fact or not watch it all.The television industry – and those affiliated with it – has a social obligation.
