Topic > The Chemistry Behind Our Televisions - 1087

Chemistry has had a colossal impact on the advancement of technology around the world. Every electronic object can recognize chemistry for its creation. A prime example that everyone knows is television. Without chemistry, technology would not exist; and without technology, we wouldn't be where we are today. Before television was invented, people tried to find different ways to entertain themselves. One bizarre thing people did was watch surgeries for fun. They found the surgery very interesting and exciting, so they watched it for fun, almost like a TV show but in real life. Before television was invented, news could not be broadcast on a screen broadcast to everyone, so newspapers were considered the main source of news around the world. “They couldn't just turn on the TV and see Brian Williams there telling us local news or tragedies happening in the world or in the local area.” (Weebly.com) However, newspapers were not the only source of news. There was a radio in almost every American household. Radio entertainment was a popular thing before the age of television. Radio allowed people to listen to popular music and was updated with national news right when it happened. Additionally, people could listen to sports programs on the radio. Before television, people actually had to leave the house to find some kind of activity to watch or participate in. Before television was invented, society was more active. Without television in front of the sofa to entertain them; the children had to find something to do. Children before the advent of television liked to run around the neighborhood and play tag or sports, such as baseball, with their friends. Family ties... half the paper... almost irrelevant due to the thousands of news programs on television. Television may not have the best impact on the future of the world. Television can attribute its creation and advancement over the years to chemistry. Before television, life was different; people were more focused on family and physical activity. Thanks to plasma, televisions have been able to advance profoundly over the generations and are capable of producing any color you can imagine. Although television is a brilliant invention, it can have more negative than positive impacts on society. In my opinion, society will continue to get worse as technology advances. Over the years people will become more and more dependent on technology, including television. Without chemistry, the technology would be virtually non-existent and we would have no idea what a television is, much less a plasma screen..
