ABSTRACT
The year is 1941. Engineers and industrialists are introducing a new medium to the country. Few can predict the significant influence of this new "gadget" with the odd name, tele-vision - vision at a distance. It is not just a novelty in a research lab or an amusement at a World's Fair. Although a technological reality, it is not yet a psychological and cultural reality. In the early 1940's there are less than 5,000 sets in the United States. But soon, the light from the TV screen will flicker in every home and mind in the country.
