Television was created as an improvement on radio. Many people enjoyed listening to news and music and sports, but they began to wish they could see the various programs, in addition to hearing them. In the U.S., television began gaining hold in American life in the late 1940s (it existed but was mainly experimental in the 1930s). People liked it because it provided a wonderful escape: it took them to places they had never been before and let them watch the activities of famous people. Today, TV is still a popular way to get entertainment, as well as news and information.
