How Technology has changed the way we watch TV

The technology has become a big part of our daily lives; it is in constant change and evolution. Over time, one of the devices that have evolved the most is the television. The first-time TV’s were introduced to the people; they were small and black and white. Furthermore, they haven’t had proper TV channels to see, but gradually, the screens got bigger, and the people started to make the content for this media. At present, thanks to the evolving technology, the television sets are big with a wide range of channels to watch. As if this was not enough, we have at our disposition Smart TVs, that not only are beautifully designed but also, they come with extra options such as Internet, Apps, among others.

In olden days, the action of watching television was limited, all the TV stations need hours for programming, to the device, and broadcast outside with the network that was available to provide for them. By 1960 many of the households had a TV, and they just have three networks which transmitted comedies, musical-variety programs, and westerns. Times have changed, right? At present, all the world has access to the Television, Internet, and now we have a wide range of channels to watch. According to different studies, people are watching live TV today more than ever before. Given the vast amount of shows available, watching TV is one of the most frequent activities of the humanity.

In India, the TV has an important place in the society. Expanding the reach of television has always been a priority for the government which has invested in developing satellite technology. This device is one of the most important inventions of science that has invaded all the homes around the world. By 1998, Indian TV channels were for range, including the major transnational companies such as BBC, MTV, CNN, Disney, among others.
