Television In The 1930's

Television was invented in the 1920’s and one of the most exceptional innovations of all time. Meanwhile, it is going to be 100 years old in a few years and still retain the primary source of entertainment for the kids, prolific for the teenagers and matures. Likewise, it is the major source of knowledge and amusement for every class of people as per their predilection. Similarly, watching television becomes a habit of the people from the past few decades when monochromatic picture turned into a vibrant color television. As for me, television means more than just entertainment and similarly the same television plays a different role for different members of the family, they also has appendage courtship with a television.

How many people today watch family sitcoms to imitate or compare values with their own? Probably not as many as there were in the 1950s. In Stephanie Coontz's "What We Really Miss about the 1950s", she discusses why people feel more nostalgic towards growing up in the 1950s, and how she disagrees that 1950s wasn't the decade that we really should like or remember best. Apart from economic stability, family values played an important part then. Through television sitcoms, such as "Leave it to Beaver", "Father knows Best", families watched them to make sure they were living correctly. It was like guidance and somewhat reassurance. However, values of families have changed, and this is shown on sitcoms today. We watch sitcoms today for

In the 1950s, most TV diversion projects overlooked current occasions and political issues. Rather, the three noteworthy systems (ABC, NBC, and CBS) created prime-time demonstrates that would engage a general family gathering of people. These real systems would indicate family drama that was recognized by its character-based amusingness and normally set inside of the home. SO in the event that you needed to realize what was going ahead on the planet you needed to listen to the radio on the off chance that you were sufficiently blessed to have one. Dark families were poor. Vagrant laborers endured terrible hardships, and racial pressures were overflowing. None of this was reflected in the realm of residential comedies. Impacts of TV in the

television became the new standard for life. By the 1950s, it was the only thing people could think

Television invented in the late year of 1927. One of the world’s greatest inventions, but just because TV is a great invention, doesn’t mean it’s always the best thing for the audience. Here are some pros, cons, and my opinion on TV.

Technology in the 1950s started with many great innovations that shape the way we live now. Probably the most important innovation of television was the introduction of cable T.V., television broadcasting, sitcoms and talk shows. Television went though many changes in its younger years. The way T.V. Developed in the early years is the foundation for what we watched now days. Transitory radios became very popular in the fact that Music could be heard in any location because it was now portable. Still T.V. Innovations were what the 1950s were all about from a technology and the birth of the T.V. show.

During The Roaring ´20s, many things became popular that were so important to the U.S., they are still used used frequently today. One of those things was the radio. Radios were actually invented around the year 1900, when Reginald Fessenden first spoke in a weak transmission through airwaves. Radios began to take off gradually after that, and according to http://xroads.virginia.edu/~ug00/3on1/radioshow/1920radio.htm ¨between 1923-1930, 60% of Americans had purchased a radio¨ When radios became more popular, they also generated a lot of revenue- by the 1930s, an hour of premium broadcasting time costed advertisers about $10,000. Thats is roughly $137,514.53 today! Radios also provided a source of cheap entertainment for families across the U.S.. Once a family had a radio installed and it was fully paid for, everything after that was free thanks to all of the advertisements from companies. Radios soon became so popular that soon listening to the radio became a national pastime. Radios were very important to the U.S. because they helped to save lives - on the seas, during bad weather, during battles (WW1 and WW2) and during other emergencies. They also helped to spread news in the U.S. far quicker than before (results of presidential elections, etc.), and finally, they allowed communication

When the television set first came out fully around the 1930’s, it only offered a few shows; a child’s program, sports, news, and comedy. Families that could afford a TV set could watch shows,

The 1930’s brought new forms of entertainment, most of which are still relevant today, but with incredible upgrades. During the Great Depression, people had to find ways to keep themselves busy, and keep themselves distracted from the hard life they were living. They wanted to keep away from dealing with the harsh reality of things. Many forms of entertainment became popular, such as baseball, football, movies, and the radio, and still thrive today, but with less of a “blast from the past” look, because they are all constantly changing.

Growing up as a young boy every single one of them played army, and fought for their country. That is how it was back in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s, people joined the army and that was considered being noble going to fight for your countries freedom. Without photos and videos of what war was really like there was this romanticized view of war that the people thought was nice and clean. But when we got the technology to capture clean photos and videos of what war was really like the people of America were disgusted and traumatized by seeing innocent people die, and solders die. That is when the romanticized view of war was flushed down the toilet. The power of the media had a great affect on the views of war from being this romanticized noble thing to do, to finding out the truth and being this horrible thing of people dyeing even innocent people, and the Americans were not okay with it.

The development of 1920s and 1930s media and technology was extremely influential upon the period of time immediately after. Media in the 1920-30s and its relevance to the years that followed, focusing on the western world. Through the journalism and writing movements during the era, new technology was exposed to the public and impacted events in the years that followed. The term technology can also apply to machinery, medicine and weaponry; however, none of them corresponded with the changes to media in the 1920s and 1930s. The evolvement of media and technology in the 1920s and 1930s impacted events during the era and later in the Second World War.

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

I tasted shoddy coffee from a company that had bankrupted years ago. We bought a huge order a while ago, and our stock still hasn’t run out. The coffee had aged so badly, they only gave it to us, the interns. But that didn’t matter; I was about to witness the first ever broadcast of color TV. I couldn’t decide if I felt excited, ecstatic, or overjoyed. I looked around to see the hundreds of flashing monitors on the wall. All I could hear was the beeping, buzzing, and all around bustle. I could practically smell the anticipation.

Television sets were commercially available since the late 1920s but in very small quantities. Since then television had become a bit more common in houses or business institutions because of it’s purposes. Which are entertainment, and news. In the 1950s, television shaped public opinion among citizens. After the
