How Much Has TV Changed Since 1926? A Lot.
I bring this to our attention just to remind us that every technology evolves. Sometimes we forget (or didn’t experience the early stages like with TV) that all technologies (indeed all innovations) didn’t spring forth fuly formed.
“People didn’t immediately embrace the new technology though. 10 years after its debut in 1936, the head of 20th Century Fox Darryl F. Zanuck (seeing TV as a competitor to movies) famous last words were predicting it would not catch on. He said he thought “People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night.””
