21st Century Technology

Television is a great technology invention.  It is being used all around the world today, and it is only getting better.  However, television wouldn't be where it is today without the help of its history.  There have been many other versions of a television, dating back to 1928.


The first version of a television was called the Octagon.  It was made by General Electric in 1928 and it was powered by a mechanical rotating disc to show the images, which were displayed on a 3 inch screen.  Thinking of this, I just appreciate the technology we have today so much more.  As television sets kept evolving, more and more sets were being made.  In 1946, only 6,000 sets were made, but by 1951, 12 million television sets were made in the United States.  This number is an unbelievable difference.


Television will only keep getting better.  The influence that past television sets have made on the television sets now was huge, and that influence will keep going.  I don't know what the future holds for television, but it will be more and more impressive as time goes on.  Television sets will keep getting a better and better image, and probably even thinner if you can believe that.
