answer. Television Transforms Daily Life It's not surprising that the effects of such a pervasive medium have attracted so much attention from parents, educators, social scientists, religious leaders, public officials and anyone else who wants to understand society's habits and values. TV has been blamed for everything from declines in literacy to rises in violent crime to the trivialization of national politics. Every once in a while it is praised, too, for giving viewers instant access to world events and uniting audiences in times of national crisis. An industry with this much presence in American life is bound to affect the way we live. Someone who is watching television is not doing other things: playing basketball, visiting a museum, or looking through telescope at the planets, for instance. Television can, however, bring you to a museum you might never visit or to a basketball game you cannot attend or to the surface of a planet you can only see through a telescope. Television technology, by adding pictures to the sounds of radio, truly transformed Americans' living and learning patterns. The word television, which once meant programs delivered by antennas through over-the-air signals, now means a television screen, where several different types of delivery systems bring viewers a diversity of programs. The programs Americans watch today are delivered by antennas, cables, and satellites, but they all appear on the same television screen, and as a viewer, you can't tell how the program arrived at your television set and probably don't care. What you do know is that television gives you access to all types of programs—drama, comedy, sports, news, game shows, and talk shows. You can see all types of people—murderers, public officials, foreign leaders, reporters, soldiers, entertainers, athletes, detectives and doctors. The television screen is truly, as scholar Erik Barnouw observed, "a tube of plenty." About 1,600 television stations operate in the United States. Three out of four of these are commercial stations, and the others are noncommercial stations. About half the commercial stations are affiliated with a network. What is something that television has been praised for? a. the decline in literacy b. for giving viewers instant access to world events and uniting audiences in times of national crisis c. rises in violent crime d. trivialization of national politics
