	Television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mechanically scanned color television was demonstrated by Bell Laboratories in June 1929 using three complete systems of photoelectric cells, amplifiers, glow-tubes, and color filters, with a series of mirrors to superimpose the red, green, and blue images into one full color image.
		Television usage in the United States skyrocketed after World War II with the lifting of the manufacturing freeze, war-related technological advances, the gradual expansion of the television networks westward, the drop in set prices caused by mass production, increased leisure time, and additional disposable income.
		Paralleling television's growing primacy in family life and society, an increasingly vocal chorus of legislators, scientists and parents are raising objections to the uncritical acceptance of the medium.

	Wildlife and Nature Programs
		Television has capitalized on a cultural fascination with the non-human, the mysterious, the unknown, the exotic, and the remote aspects of the natural world in the form of programs devoted to the study and presentation of wildlife, geography, and other features of the biological universe.
		And, like all such offerings, while entertaining and educating, they also construct their own interpretation of "nature" or "the wild" or "the animal kingdom." Indeed, wildlife and nature presentations are among the most prominent in emphasizing television's capacity for "framing" and "constructing" particular points of view, while omitting others.
		From the start, the introduction of nature and wildlife programming attracted audiences as a "great escape." These programs were fun and exhilarating to watch, and had viewers on the edge of their seats waiting for the commercial-breaks to end and the show to resume.

		Because television has such a huge impact on today's society and is an object which many Au 2 people experience rather than nature itself, I found it relevant to the issue.
		It becomes obvious that nature is becoming something that we only experience second hand through the television, and that we "lose nature" in both senses in the way that we perceive it and the physical destruction of nature.
		The branch is fl and leafless to convey the aspect of the current dying status of nature.

		Concentrating primarily on examples featuring "wildlife," I will not be suggesting that so-called blue-chip (big budget, conventional) natural history texts are no longer in production, but rather that the programs being made supersede traditional generic boundaries in their attempts to capture the imagination of the contemporary audience.
		The primary subject matter is an exploration of the natural world, with texts typically focusing on living things (most commonly animals or plants) in their wild state.
		Natural history documentaries support this by taking the viewer into locations and situations that they would not generally have access to.

		The first four decades of postwar American television, dominated by the formidable economic and cultural power of three network firms, is noteworthy beyond the phenomenal economic prosperity and relative structural stability that the TV industry enjoyed.

		The pervasive nature of this technology is on the rise throughout the world, yet people watch television without the least awareness of the effect that the medium itself has on individuals and societies alike.
		Unlike people in a movie theatre, where images are projected onto a screen, television viewers become prey to the television’s own light impulses, they go into an altered state - a transfixed condition where the eyes, the mind, the breathing of the subject is clearly under the control of an outside force.

		I unconsciously learned what McKibben points out, that television does not provide a sense of who we are and where we came from, an intimate connection with the world around us, or many basic skills.
		If anything, I still believed myself to be in touch with natural processes because, being the first one home each day, I had to build the fire (between commercial breaks of course).
		I was pleasantly surprised by such close opportunities for nature, ranging from small areas on campus, the arboretum, and Ravenna Park, to large tracts of wilderness in the Olympics and Cascades, with mountains, beach, rain forest and desert within a few hours driving distance.

	Announcers
		A beginner’s chance of landing an on-air job is remote, except possibly at a small radio station, as a substitute for a familiar announcer, or on the late-night shift at a larger station.
		Employment of announcers is expected to decline through 2012, due to the lack of growth of new radio and television stations and consolidation of existing stations, but some job openings will arise from the need to replace those who transfer to other kinds of work or leave the labor force.
		Increasing consolidation of radio and television stations, new technology, and the growth of alternative media sources, such as cable television and satellite radio, will contribute to the expected decline in employment of announcers.
