<!-- EDIT BELOW THIS LINE - Television. The first television pictures were sent across telephone wires. Now, television pictures are sent through the air like radio signals, without a wire.

At first, television was used mostly for entertainment, but it became valuable for communication when regular news broadcasts were set up. Now we expect "on-the-spot coverage" of important events. We can see the news on television several times a day.

Television is important in education. Many regular television channels broadcast educational programs. Many special educational channels have also been established. The money for regular television channels comes from commercials. Educational television stations are paid for by the government, by schools, and by donations from people who are interested.

Radio made changes in the lives of American people. Television has also made changes. People who have never traveled further than a hundred miles from their homes have seen the President in the White House. They have seen and heard people from many countries of the world. They can see sports events and entertainment. They can learn from fine teachers in television classes. The world can be brought into their living rooms.

The moving picture camera, voice recorder, and television are combined to make video cassette recorders. Sounds and pictures are recorded on a video cassette using a video camera or a cell phone. DVDs are used to play either homemade videos or movies. Most American homes have technology that allows them to rent movies cheaply or borrow them from the library.

Families are not always pleased with programs on television and video. When the whole world can come into our homes, the bad things as well as the good things can come in. Parents should help their children choose good programs and tapes.
