brings news from every corner of the globe into your living room.

The television was not invented by one person, the dream was said to be started by the ancient Greeks and then in Shakespeare’s Henry part Two it was said that people relied on for news due to their inability to see what was happing in the far corners of the kingdom.

The reality took step in 1872 by Joseph May, Willoughby Smith then followed up with the phenomenon. Both of them discovered the Se-lenium’s photoconduc� ve proper� es and that was where the angling for fame took place.

It was none other than television.

Many things took place since then un� l 1930’s, TV commercially made available and Singapore started having it in the late 1960’s. And today, under the Media 21 plan Singapore was pushed by the government to be one of the key strate-gic media in Asia-Pacifi c region as of 2002.

The inven� on of the television had dras� cally changes the way people lives. People today will just have to press the bu� on of their TV con-troller and they will be able to see the world. Yes, the world! It’s like the frog trap in the well could see what’s going on at the outside world without coming out the well. That is how TV had broken the geographical barriers.

As people are watching the TV, it involves a transfer of informa� on that enriches the view-er’s store of knowledge. Therefore, in this case many people get aff ected by what they watch in both good and bad ways.
