in many different sizes and shapes and even colors. There
are flat screens, plasma screens, big screens, under the
cabinet TVs and more. You can find TVs in virtually any room
of the house, even the garage and you can even find TVs in
automobiles and handheld versions that a person can carry
in their pocket. The television has even acquired several
nicknames such as idiot box, boob tube and goggle box.
Although most people may not be able to remember a time
before there was TV, they are actually a fairly recent
invention. The first TV was patented in 1928 and after
laboratory tweaking and perfecting, the TV became available
to the consumer market in 1945. The first TVs were in black
and white and were expensive. The average home could not

things are still shown live such as sports games. For
prerecorded shows, videotape is the principle method of

has progressed over the years, the basic idea is the same.
If you have an older TV, can remember the older TVs or still

Today, most people use a cable connection to pick up their
channels. Cable offers a much clearer reception. We have
