Although we use many forms of technology in our lives, television is one of the first to spring to mind. Methods of transmitting images were developed in the 19th century, but it was not until the mid-1920s that a system similar to today's terrestrial television was born.

The applicatio
ns of television, whether broadcast or recorded are abundant: education, marketing, entert

In fact, in the future, the word 'television' may
become redundant, as new, unimagined technologies take its place.
I think this article is very interesting because the television is a great advance in technology; which in addition to providing great entertainment, it's a very good source of information.
