Television is one of man's most important means of communication. It brings pictures and sounds from around the world into millions of homes.
A person with a TV set can sit in his house and watch the president make a speech or visit a foreign country. He can see a war being fought and watch statesmen try to bring about peace. Through television, home viewers can see and learn about people, places and things in far away lands. TV even takes its viewers out of this world. It brings them coverage of America's astronauts as the astronauts explore outer space.
In addition to all these things, TV brings its viewers a steady stream of programmers which are designed to entertain. In fact, TV provides many more entertainment programmes than any other kind. The programmes include action-packed dramas, light comedies, sporting events and motion pictures.
