TELEVISION'S RELATIIONSHIP TO SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Television's Relationship to Science and Technology
Scientific knowledge has led to the development of machinery, and equipment among other provision of technology. Notably, computer technology is a product of scientific knowledge: the advancement of the science and the engineering knowledge has led to the increase in the practical application of knowledge. As a result, the technology has continued to advance leading innovation and modernization. Television is a product of scientific knowledge and thus led to the transmission of knowledge of science from one region to another. Television has had gradual improvement in different time. For example, in the ancient time, the transmission of news and entertainment was limited and only in the black and white. As seen in the modern society, television has advanced from black and white images to colored photographic images (Williams, 1974). The improvement in the mode of transmission of images is a sign of technology. Additionally, television has made it possible for the transfer of culture and different kinds of technological knowledge from one region to another. This study seeks to explain the relationship between the technical research in science and technology and television

However, the use of television is not a one-day discovery but a gradual improvement and combination of thoughts from the early scientist. Ideally, television combined the knowledge of photography, motion of pictures radio, telegraphy and the development of electricity. Television was separated from another technology. For example, the increase in the knowledge of the motion of pictures, the invention of cameras with high megapixels results in the invention of television (Dick, 1982). Ideally, the development in television is a combination of knowledge of research from the different scientist. It is clear that the discovery of magnetism, the electricity, and the photography is the knowledge from the different technical research. The 1800-1830s was the period of inventions and the application of the knowledge of electromagnetic inductions. The knowledge of electromagnetic induction was instrumental in the development of television. For this reason, television is a product of technical research from the different scientist (Williams, 1974).
Television is a product of photography and the light writing. The development of photography in 1802 is one the stages that contribute the discovery and invention of television. In the era, the idea of the camera was functional and thus the contribution by Davy and Wedgewood in photography was significant. The knowledge of photography in the age was an improvement to the performance of the camera. The modification of images and…

Technology and Film Almost from its inception, the idea of the relationship between the individual and technology has been part of an evolving paradigm. While this new technology brought entertainment to the masses, technology itself as often the subject of early films which explored the idea of whether technology was a tool for humans to use, or a foreboding tyrant that both dehumanized and attempted to control both the individual and
French New Wave French cinema, by the time the second world war ended, was faced with a crisis fittingly summarized by posters that advertised Mundus-Film (distributors for First National, Goldwyn, and Selig). These posters implied that the cannon operated by America's infantrymen launched film after film targeted at the French. La Cinematographie francaise (soon to become the leading French trade journal) claimed that every week 25,000 meters of film imported

Audiences and their equipment and expectations have changed, too. Many have DVRs, streaming video, portable television, and certainly hi-def or plasma sets. Therefore, not only do they expect higher quality programming and effects, but network scheduling is now a moot point. Audiences can also engage in repeat viewings, watching and analyzing more attentively, which leads producers to create "increasingly sophisticated narrative worlds that sustain and reward intensive fan involvement on
Scaflik makes the claim that these types of tactics from networks mean that the network believe that violence is what attracts viewers the most. Finally, shows such as Law and Order and Dark Shadows manage to show minimal amounts of violence and in inappropriate context, while they ultimately showcase the violence in a de-contextualized manner in the promos (Scaflik 2004). Scaflik points out that this is a serious problem for
