Introduced in the early 1960s, it immediately earned a place in everyone’s heart, certainly holding a special place in mine. From watching “Doraemon” to “Friends,” we’ve all grown up. However, the excitement of coming home, having lunch in front of the TV, and watching my favorite show hasn’t faded away. As a kid, TV kept me company, warding off boredom and loneliness. Channels like Disney, Cartoon Network, Animax, Discovery, and National Geographic helped me explore different parts of the world from the comfort of my own room. Shows like “Food Factory,” “Science of Stupid,” “Do or Die,” and “Man Vs. Wild” were both educational and entertaining, much like cartoons. Cartoons and Disney shows helped me see society from a perspective different from that of my parents, exposing me to various cultures and beliefs.
But TVs don’t bring joy or nostalgia only to my generation. My grandparents tell me that they contemplated between buying a refrigerator and a TV. A refrigerator, used for storing food, held the same value as a TV for them—an illustration of their eagerness for watching television. My parents laughed as they described how they would patiently wait for a four-minute show, and even ads were intriguing to them.
TVs have now become a standard and primary commodity for everyone. Whether small or large, everyone has one.
