Television. Potentially a means to educate the masses, bring literacy to the illiterate, uplift the common man. A way of bringing news, public affairs and political discussion into every home. TV could teach history and geography. It could bring the greatest plays, the best music and musical theater to us all.
To anyone 45 or over such pronouncements must seem familiar: The same kinds of things were once said about radio and about motion pictures. I have no doubt that they were also said about the printing press.
