The ways we have changed It is hard

The ways we have changed It is hard for almost everyone, but especially the young, to imagine a world without television. We have learned to expect that all the important news of the day, worldwide, will be there at the touch of a button. In times gone by, only the literate knew what was going on the world, and then only after a long delay. But now it is possible for any of us to watch world events as they occur. Nothing has shortened the distance that divides our private lives from the outside world to such an extent as television. Time and again, television transports us to the habitats of rare animals, and we may identify with them. Concern for damage to the environment extends far and wide. We worry about the influence of technology not just in our cities but on us people. Increasingly, we see ourselves as part of the lanet rather than in isolation.What was once the prerogative of scholars is now accessible to countless people through the medium of television. Although this forum of popular education can be regarded as superficial, it represents a broadening of knowledge.
