No one could have ever imagined how television has molded the world that 
we live in today. A huge majority of us watch at least an hour a day and most of those who don’t actually watch TV have one or two at home, and usually just leave it on for whatever reasons they may have.
From a huge box with black and white pictures to flat screens and satellite TVs, technology has given us a lot more things that we could not have ever imagined. During the 1940’s and 1950’s, people would have a 20-foot long cable connecting their TV to a small box with dials and buttons, now known as the “remote control”.
Earlier versions of the television had no other color than black, white and grey and very few channels. What’s even worse is that only a few people actually had the chance to own one.
As the years passed, the television grew more and more sophisticated and accessible. Knobs, dials and the bundles of cords eventually disappeared. Colored pictures and a wider selection of local channels were added to the features.
Despite being tagged as “the idiot box”, developers continued to improve this amazing invention. TVs eventually became smaller and thinner. People also had the chance to choose the channels that they wanted, at a certain price. Monthly subscriptions to hundreds of channels and exclusive live screening on your favorite boxing matches made it so convenient. Lifestyle networks give tips on decorating your home, tips on hiring a property stylist Sydney professional in Australia and even preparing your daily meals from top American chefs. Today, televisions appear to have a mind of their own. You may change channels and surf the internet with a wave of your hand.
These amazing features however create a very vague line between some of our modern gadgets and appliances like the computer. Sooner or later, we might not even have a need for any other machine in the house aside from our TV, or would it still even be called a TV?
