The name “Television” comes from the Greek word “tele” meaning “far” and the Latin word “videre” meaning “to see” . Thus television means “seeing far” .
Television brings the world into our homes in sight and sound. Nowadays there are few families in big cities that don' t have TV sets. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago . John Baird, a British inventor, found a way to send pictures by wireless. This happened in the year 1925 and it was the beginning of television. It took another thirty years for television to be an industry.
During these years, many important uses have been found. For example, television makes it easy for a whole class to see everything a teacher shows. Any number of students may look through a microscope at the same time when television does the “looking” for them. It can also be used to watch process ([pr+uses]过程) in places where it would not be safe for a human being to be present.
