Television, purpose & function.

The technology with the largest impact in my opinion is television. There are many other technologies which have impacted us greatly too, but almost everyone has a television or at least has access to one. The main purpose of a television is to provide entertainment but it does much more than that. While we can spend hours on end watching useless shows rotting our brains we can also be alerted of important events going on in our world. Watching breaking news is the perfect way to always know what is going on, this is a great function of television. If there is a child missing, a natural disaster, or an event the news can broadcast it across the province, country, or even the world. Television helps to keep us informed of what is going on which is very important.

Television has the largest cultural impact because of how broad it can be. You can broadcast things from any part of the world to another through television. It shows people the different ways of life, different countries, and many more interesting things you would never get to see without the invention of a television. The purpose of a television is entertainment, the function of a television can be whatever you want it to be.
