Television and Technology

The Rise of Television Mass media—means of communication that reach large audiences TV first widely available 1948 By 1960 a T.V. is in almost 90% of homes Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates communications By 1956, FCC allows 500 stations to broadcast Lifestyle changes: TV Guide becomes a popular magazine TV dinners also become popular

Television affects the Civil Rights Movement Television promotes awareness of what is “Truly” going on in the world In Selma Alabama, King leads 600 protest marchers; TV shows police violently stop them TV news show police attacking child marchers— fire hoses, dogs, clubs Continued protests, economic boycott, bad press help end segregation

The Televised Debate Affects Votes First televised presidential debate between Kennedy, Richard Nixon Many Americans were worried about JFK because of inexperience and Catholicism Kennedy coached by TV producers, comes across better than Nixon

Stereotypes and Gunslingers Women and minorities on TV are stereotypes Few blacks and Latinos on T.V. Television producers left out references to poverty, racism, and conflict Westerns glorify historical frontier conflicts Raise concerns about effect of violence on children

Rock ‘n’ roll Black musicians add electric instruments to blues—rhythm and blues Rock ‘n’ roll—mix of rhythm and blues, country, pop Has heavy rhythm, simple melodies, lyrics about teenage concerns Music appeals to newly affluent teens who can buy records Many adults concerned music will lead to delinquency, immorality

Technology and Competition The Space Race: October 1957, Soviets launch Sputnik, the first artificial satellite April 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri A. Gagarin is first man in space Shocked Americans pour money into own space program in order to catch up Race to the Moon: Soon after the Soviets put man in space, U.S. puts man in space, also uses satellite communications July 1969 U.S astronaut Neil Armstrong is first man to walk on moon University science programs grow New industries, technologies arise

Race for the H-Bomb H-bomb—hydrogen bomb—nuclear weapon more than 67 times more powerful than atom bomb 1952, U.S. explodes first H-bomb, soon after in 1953, Soviets explode one
