Television, the modern wonder of electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight and sound. And the word ‘television’ means seeing far.
Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models. Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become industry.
The influence of TV on the life of the people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations. At first television programs were broadcast in black-and-white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.
The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the first communications satellite, more and more programs are telecast ‘live’ from all over the world. People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. And live telecasts now come form outer space. In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic ‘moon walk’ to viewers on the earth. Since then, astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth.

In many homes, divorce is caused by the “battle between the sexes”. To understand the problem, one must remember that modern American woman is freed. During childhood and youth, the American girl is given freedom and education which is equal to a boy’s. After completing school, she is able to get a job and support herself. She doesn’t have to marry for financial security. She considers herself an independent, self-sufficient person. She wants a husband whom she can respect. She wants a democratic household in which she has a voice in making decisions. When a husband and wife are able to share decision-making, their marriage is probably closer, stronger, and more satisfying. Otherwise, the couple is likely to wind up in the divorce court.
When a couple gets divorced, the court usually requires the man to pay his former wife a monthly sum of money. If the couple has children, they usually remain with the mother, and the father is expected to pay for their support.
Although divorce is quite common in the United States, 80 percent of those who get divorced remarry. The remarriages allow thousands of people, especially children, to enjoy family life again, but at the same time many troubles have arisen. A well-known American joke tells of a wife calling to her second husband, “Quick, John! Come here and help me! Your children are beating up our children!”
