The TV Age
In 1948, there were fewer than 17,000 TVs in the US. The TV was called the "idiot box" and many Americans were concerned that students may skip their homework to watch TV. People started staying inside their homes more, leaving their house less and many people starting eating in front of the TV. This event is important because in the 1950s TV commercials bought in over 1.5 billion dollars in advertising money. The TV Age impacted society because it became very popular in the United States. -
