Television has been one of the most important advances in technology and one that has had the most impact across the world. Some of the advantages of television include a cheap source of entertainment, a easy communication device, and a way to keep informed regarding current events. Instead of having to go to plays and concerts (meaning many people would never have the opportunity because they
. lived in a place where they weren't accessible or they just couldn't afford the luxury) they are beamed into the home to be enjoyed by everyone. This alone makes it the perfect entertainment device for everyone across the world - a person in the United States and a person in Africa can both enjoy the same entertainment. As a communication device people can now be advised of dangerous weather and other problems before or as they occur giving them the opportunity to get to safety. And, for the last advantage, imagine waiting weeks to find out who won the Presidential election - this is the way it use to be. Now, we know instantly when something of major importance has occurred.
