THE EVOLUTION OF TELEVISION (1930-2010)
The invention followed 4 phases:
- Cable and Satellite TVs
- Interactive TV and video games explode
- Conventional 24 hour TV
- HD Technology integration
Before the 1980’s broadcast TV was only available at certain hours. The number of available broadcast stations was minimal, thus there were few options. After the invention of cable and satellite TV, programming changed and viewers could choose from a variety of programs. Television was also accessible twenty four hours a day. The invention of interactive TV and video games opened up a whole world of previously unknown home entertainment. Consequently, indoor entertainment took a front seat to outdoor activities, while television took on a bigger role within and in the entire world.

SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF TELEVISION
Television has virtually become an extension of the internet in that it can grant the user interactive capabilities and also provide a more ergonomic backdrop to conduct meetings, interactive learning lessons, and also for the viewing of educational video programs. Today’s wide screens in both 3d and HD provide lifelike contexts for learning and also for those in the working field. (Intelligent Television, 2010).
EFFECT OF THE TELEVISION EXPERIENCE
Television has revolutionized the media industry in society by creating convenience through pioneering of TV stations. The result has been:
- A fully Integrated mass media with no hardware separation

- Gradual phasing-out of print mass media
- Wireless controls and TV availability in smartphones
- A virtual education system through TV and the internet integration
- Shift from brick and mortar schooling to online
- DNA compelled security on every electronic submission
TV has for all intents and purposes turned into an internet extension since it can grant users with interactive capabilities through which people can conduct interactive learning sessions, instructive video programs, and meetings. Today's wide screens in both HD and 3D offer realistic circumstances to impact knowledge especially for those in the relevant working environment.
GROWTH OF TELEVISION DURING ITS EVOLUTION
Over the years, there have been people and companies that have helped grow and develop television as a medium during its evolution. These companies or people have shaped our beliefs, values, and decisions in society. Television is dominated by five major companies:
Time Warner (1980-present)
VIACOM (1951 - present)
Vivendi Universal (1970’s)
Walt Disney (1939-present)
News Corp (1981-present)
The 5 own a majority 95% of all the daily media content broadcasted such as major entertainment movie studios, theme parks, radio and television broadcast networks as well as programming, sports entertainment and video news. They are also owners of electronic media, integrated telecommunications, video games software, wireless phones, and the music industry (Wooten, 2013).
The justification for my chosen medium, television is the incorporation of every entertainment and broadcasting aspect. The companies that own a majority of electronic media are directly linked with their starting points being the television industry.
