**Overview of Television's**

Televisions have come a long way since the first commercially available cathode ray tube televisions sold in the 1920's, these televisions were monochrome (black and white). Televisions became very popular after the second World War and with the new technologies from the second World War that led to better quality televisions with the analogue television system. Analogue television systems allowed new televisions to also become cheaper than before, lower than $200. In the 1960's, televisions used vacuum tube electronics which allowed color but were not very good quality for color. During the late 1970's, electronic tuners began appearing in high-end TVs as well as remote controllers. It was not till 1988 that the first LCD television was brought into the market and this led to the next era of televisions in the 1990's with the S-input that supported video game systems and VCR's. 2009 marked the end of the broadcast television era due to the latest advances with the Digital Terrestrial Televisions (DTV). Televisions have changed over the decades as well as the way people around the world view news, entertainment, and videos.

**Current Trends and Technology of Televisions**

Their are multiple current trends and technology with televisions such as LCD and flat panel televisions, internet web based televisions, 3D televisions with and without glasses, and mobile televisions.

LCD and flat panel televisions :These televisions are the most common household televisions due to their prices being dropped drastically over recent years because of companies trying to have the most sells. Companies such as Vizio has been a huge reason for these dropping in price because they offer similar televisions for around a few hundred dollars less than other companies televisions.



Internet web based televisions : These televisions are WiFi enabled which allows for these televisions to be connected to the internet. Programs such as Netflix and Hulu are popular internet programs are enabled to be watched through your WiFi enabled televisions. These televisions do not allow users to fully access the web yet but are on there to this goal.

3D televisions : 3D televisions projects programs into a realistic three dimensional view that makes the viewer feel as if they are in the movie or show. These 3D televisions have a lot of potential and are in the early stages of development. They started out where the viewers had to wear special 3D glasses that did not work all the time and now they are working to where the viewers do not need any glasses at all. The big question around 3D televisions is if 3D movies in the theaters will work correctly with these 3D televisions and programmers are saying yes they will.



Mobile televisions : With the latest technology in smartphones and tablets has led to mobile televisions. People today are always on the go and they do not have as much time to sit and watch television like they use too, so instead they are watching television through smartphones and tablets. With new mobile devices becoming smarter, faster, and cheaper allows for television to be a huge hit on these mobile devices. Viewers can watch their favorite television shows, movies, and news anywhere and anytime they want.

** The Future of Televisions **

The future of televisions has many different approaches that it can take, but many companies are trying to figure out the convergences to bring together all the current trends into a single television. A possible goal for companies would be a cheap 3D internet based mobile television, but this kind of television is not going to be produced on the market just yet. Apple is currently working on a new television that allows wireless streaming capabilities as well as voice recognition software. Another possible future for televisions is that it will go all mobile and the current home televisions will go out of business just as the Digital Terrestrial Televisions did in 2009. Another future for televisions in a long term after 3D televisions have been perfected would be holographic televisions. According to PC world, "A research team at the University of Arizona has developed a system that can render an image in near real time and update the image every few seconds." This same team programmed an updateable holographic 3D display that would not only record but also display images every couple of minutes. Holographic televisions may seem to be far fetch but this team of researches say that they are trying to get holographic televisions out within a decade.
