  Umm.. I dont know if I've posted in the correct forum.
  I currently doing a project on the inventor of tv..
  he is philo farnsworth.
  
  I need to state the drastic(big) shift that this person caused.
  
  Can anyone give me ideas on the changes before a tv and after a tv was invented?
  
  how is a tv better than radio?
  other than its more preferred?
  
  i hope you all can answer me seriously. i really need your help..
  
  TIA!

  hmm for tv, there are images you can see to let you understand the situation or plot for drama.

  before: stories read out on radio, listeners had to visualise whats happening, which sucks because some people simply can't imagine
  
  after: idiot-proof TV allows people to easily understand dramas broadcasted

  tv helps the transfer of visual information which helps viewers clearly see what is happening, thus not causing any misinterpretation when it is being read out instead...
  
  tv is also slowly becoming more multi use as more n more functions r included in it, showing videos which r filmed by urself(memories), playing games(playstation, xbox), information centre(teletex, news)
  
  however, it has also caused addiction to it since convenience in ones own comfort home reduces the motivation to go out n look for the information urself...also thru tv, false or unhealthy info might b passed thru if no regulations were to b enforced(overseas tv having porn or false claims thru advertising)...

  You can try reading Marshall McLuhan's "Understanding Media". He's the inventor of terms such as "hot" and "cool" media, "global village", and "the medium is the message". In this book he discusses the characteristics and impact of various forms of media, including radio and TV. Be forewarned though: this book is very cheem.
  
  Good luck, have fun!
