Summary:
Providing a fascinating glimpse at American life when television was the "wave of the future," these classic films from the 1940s through the 1960s examine the evolving television industry. Some films show how televisions are built in the United States, how they affect lifestyles and industry, new innovations such as a remote control device and a timing device to remind one to watch a certain program, and how the television signal actually works.
