Television

I asked my grandmother and grandfather about their first experiences with television as a part of an assignment. They both answered along the lines of amazing. They each said that it was incredible watching moving pictures in the comfort of their own homes. My grandmother said most things on were geared towards women, especially mothers, because they were the ones staying home and taking care of the children. Many shows were learning based, such as Mr. Rogers, which helped her significantly while she was working around the house. This meant that the kids were her occupied by an educational show while she did her duties as a housewife. My grandfather said that the screens of the first televisions were only about 6 inches making it very difficult to see. Disregarding the difficulty of vision, everyone was amazed by the invention of the television.
