Television
There is debate over who first invented the television: Philio Farnsworth, Charles Jenkins, or John Baird. They all more or less had a hand in its creation, but Farnsworth is the one most often credited as the creator. Before 1946, TV was only black and white and despite the capabilities of color being available since 1946, the first color broadcast was not until 1953. As for the physical TV itself, it has gone through hundreds of changes as well. It has gone from a box with dials and very small screen, to the modern giant flat-screen smart TV. Over the course of its existence, there has been endless discussion about what it does to people, in terms of what they consume and how it makes them act. Eve today, there is debate of what is suitable to be put on both public and private television (i.e. Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video). Some believe that certain TV shows can cause people to act violent or inappropriately, while others think they do no harm at all. That is why censorship is an argument that is still alive. Some also argue that is shortens attentions spans and potentially causes eye damage. But, despite these potential issues, the Television has offered millions of hours of entertainments to people and have allowed creators to show their art to the world.
