Attempt All Questions:
1. Read the following text and do the tasks that follow:
Television can be defined as an electronic device that is used for receiving sound and images that create television programs which the people watch. Television is also popularly known as T.V. or Telly.
Televisions show pictures with sounds. They get data from cables, discs, or over-the-air signals. They turn this data into sound and images. People watch news and shows on them. On March 25, 1925, the Scottish inventor John Logie Baird made the first-ever public display of moving visuals on television. The TV set that Baird made had just one color. It could only show part of the picture. To be precise, it just showed the face of the person on the screen. Back then TVs didn’t work well, but it was just the beginning.
The first TV station was set up in 1928 in New York City. Few families had TVs in their homes. The TV broadcasts were not meant to be watched. They showed a Felix the Cat doll for two hours a day. The doll spun around on a record player. They were experimenting to see how they could make TV work. It took many years to get it right. By the end of the 1930s, TVs were working much better. America got its first look at TVs at the 1939 World’s Fair. This was one of the biggest events ever. There were 200 small, black and white TVs set up around the fair. The U.S. President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, gave speeches over the TVs. The TVs were only five inches big, but the people loved them. Now everyone wanted a TV. But World War II was going on during this time. Factories were busy making guns and bombs, and did not have time to make TVs for people. When the war was finally over, TVs became popular in the U.S.
By 1948 there were four big TV networks in America. They aired their shows from 8 pm to 11 pm each night. Local shows were shown at earlier times. Most of the time, nothing was shown at all. TV was not “always on” like it today. Then in 1953 color TVs came out. However, they cost too much money for most people. Also, shows were still being aired in black and white.
By 1965, color TVs were much cheaper. Soon, TV stations and networks started airing shows in color. People had to switch to a color TV set if they wanted to see the shows.
Now most TVs are high-definition or SMART TVs. This means that they have many lines on them. They have a better picture quality, a really clear image, and superior sound. TVs have come a long way since John Baird’s 30 line set. High-definition TVs have 1080 lines. There are also “state of the art” sets, which are called 4K TVs. They have 3,840 lines. These TVs are state of the art because people can watch TV in 3-D. Over the years, the television has really come a long way !
