Concept in Definition ABC

Known today as one of the means of communication most popular and with the highest audience worldwide, TV or television is a communication system that is based on the sending and receiving of images and sound through different media such as radio, cable or the satelite, among others. For it to be done properly, you must have a device also known as TV that is in charge of decoding the signal to transform it into a message accessible to the public.

It is believed that TV made its first commercial appearances in the 1930s, although the system was already known for scientific uses among others. It was at this time, and especially from 1950 on, that television became one of the most required and common in homes not only in the United States (its place of birth and greater diffusion) but throughout the world. From these first moments to the present, the evolution TV has undoubtedly been of great magnitude, including color, as well as different media, dealing with a variety of themes and increasingly including a larger number of channels of transmission.

Loves and hates

Among the detractors of this medium, without a doubt, the question of criticism regarding those contents in which the intimacy of the people is very nakedly shown, even against the will of these.

The phenomenal diffusion that reality TV has had has generated a shift in the limits and television has not had dramas in starkly showing the most intimate issues of people, their sufferings, their failures, their sadness and hardships.

Also in this sense has contributed the fact of believing that everything happens or interests once it happens or is seen in the TV and by case is that people have done and do anything in order to appear there, while those who have the responsibility of the contents, dominated mainly by the commercial interest that this brings them, do not care about improve the content or discourage this trend but, on the contrary, they have fed it all that they have I have.

Something to say in favor of TV is that to date and despite the fact that new technologies have brought new alternatives in their wake In this sense, TV has not come out of the public's predilections at all, much less, something that has happened with other media of Mass communication such as the radio and the written press that did succumb to the imprint of the new technological proposals.
