TV's Impact

I agree with the statement that television has had the greatest impact on society than any other form of media. Looking back, when TV first became public, its rise affected many other sources of media such as radio, magazines, and newspapers. That is because it included the good parts of all those sources and more. TV plays music and advertising, just like radio. TV shows gossip, focused ads, news, and in depth stories, just like magazines. TV includes news programs, comics, ads, and personal stories, just like newspapers. However, television combines all these elements in single, easy to use system that can be both seen and heard. Advertisers spend most of their money to deliver to TV channels and 99% of all households own a TV. Television can easily update and identifies our culture and social norms. It influences the way we perceive the world around us and updates us about world news. Television has definitely had the greatest impact on society.
