This chapter explores the history of television. From its origins and early development to how it stands today. It is interesting to note the existing culture and how it has changed since i was a young girl. Television has always been a part of my childhood. I remember when i first watched cable television. There was an all day network for cartoon watching and i was thrilled. My favorite channels growing up were nickolodeon and cartoonetwork. To this day i remember the programs, characters and theme songs. It brings back sweet memories. when i get together with my friend from high school, we are able to talk for hours and base our conversation on old cartoons we watched as kids. It is a comforting memory and takes me back to when i was a kid. It was the culture of our generation at that time and it still holds relevance to this day as we look back.
Unfortunately, these programs have since been discontinued, forgotten and replaced by newer programs that will in turn serve to be someone else's memory. Just recently i was able to revive these programs because of the transformation television has undergone in recent years. It is now possible for me to watch my cartoons again. The same ones that has served my youth. and it is amazing.
Television has transformed into a partnership with newer technology of this day. in fact even if you don't have a television you can still watch the programs. You can still talk about last night's episode with your friends. The Internet has archived and preserved almost every aspect of television. MOst probably you will find uploaded video on youtube and an entire discussion by net members are displayed. people are proactive in preserving certain programs of interest.
