Have you heard the Alladin Story?

Alladin rubbed a small lamp, and out came a genie. It had power to bring anything that Alladin asked for.

Don’t you wish for one such genie in your life too? After that, all you need to do is ‘ask’, and the very next minute; genie will bring it to your hands, whatever it may be!

In fact, there is one such genie in your own house. But the trick is, it can’t bring the items you are asking for, but it can show them as if they are real!

Look around; are you able to spot that genie?

Yes, I am talking about the Television. Just imagine, how many great things this little box brings to our eyes: Cartoons, Movies, Games, Songs, Natural Scenery, General Knowledge and much more.

Just ten years back, we didn’t have these many television channels. There were one or two channels maximum, and you had to watch whatever they show.

But today, the technological advancements have brought the entire world in our hands. There are hundreds of channels, different kinds of programs; all we need do is, touch the remote button in our hands!

But still, many people call television as Idiot Box. Why?

Is television really an idiot? Or, it is making us idiots?

To solve this mystery, we need to understand this wonder device called Television. Then you will be able to make a decision on how to make best use of this genie in our drawing room.

You watch television everyday. Now, for a change, let us ‘read’ television. Join me in this fascinating journey!

Chapter 2

Before we start, a small exercise for you.

Just switch off your TV, and think about this: Television programs are recorded in some corner of the world, then they are telecast from some other corner, finally, it lands in our own television box with superb clarity and quality. How?

Television is one of the finest technological advancements made in modern world. It is complex for sure, But not very difficult to understand.

Let us explore this with the help of an example:

Now, you have drawn a nice picture – A cute penguin stands with a flag in its hand, and you have used all your crayons liberally to decorate your art.

Wow! This looks cool, a future Leonardo Da Vinci or Picasso in making!
