  Television   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Development of cable and satellite means of distribution in the 1970s pushed businessmen to target channels towards a certain audience, and enabled the rise of subscription-based television channels, such as HBO and Sky.

Language is too subtle and complex for a computer to understand and translate.
They reside instead in the nature of language, in the intricacies and subtleties of written and oral communication, in the nuances of a person's voice or the subtext in a well-written paragraph.
And when body language is important, humans have a great deal of trouble, given how varied and complex each person’s use of such non-verbal communication is. So the computers will have the same problems the humans do.

 Sign language Summary
A sign language (also signed language) is a language which uses manual communication instead of sound to convey meaning - simultaneously combining handshapes, orientation and movement of the hands, arms or body, and facial expressions to express fluidly a speaker's thoughts.
Sign languages commonly develop in deaf communities, which can include interpreters and friends and families of deaf people as well as people who are deaf or hard of hearing themselves.
The phonemic systems of oral languages are primarily sequential: that is, the majority of phonemes are produced in a sequence one after another, although many languages also have non-sequential aspects such as tone.

Chinese state television CCTV claims to reach 84 percent of the population, with the number of regular viewers exceeding 900 million.
Western influence on television should not be underestimated, but it is not as saturating as the proponents of cultural imperialism believe—and while there may be many American soaps filling in the dead times in the afternoon, they are not, in general, the most popular programs.
The most profitable areas of television content for media organizations intent on investing in the developing world are films, soaps, sports, and children’s programs; these transcend barriers of culture and language, unlike news and current affairs, which demand knowledge of local politics and are more likely to be subject to state control.
