Get the Tv mug.
TV: The first telivision has appeared with the arrival of Mankind. It was first made out of stone during the stone age, but the dates remain unprecise. In the lately 1930's, the TVs were made out of more complex materials and you could see something moving in it for the first time. Still Today, scientists are still looking for interesting shows because shows today are still as useless as 20 centuries ago. Id advise you to stick to your computer while the TV still evolves a bit more.
short for TransVestite
Television (often abbreviated to TV, T.V.; sometimes called , telly or the tube, bloob tube or boob tube, or idiot box in British English) is a widely used telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound over a distance. The term may also be used to refer specifically to a television set, programming or television transmission. The word is derived from mixed Latin and Greek roots, meaning "far sight": Greek tele (τῆλε), far, and Latin vision, sight (from video, vis- to see, or to view in the first person).
Since it first became commercially available from the late 1930s, the television set has become a common household communications device in homes and institutions, particularly in the first world, as a source of entertainment and news. Since the 1970s, video recordings on VCR tapes and later, digital playback systems such as DVDs, have enabled the television to be used to view recorded movies and other programs.
A television system may be made up of multiple components, so a screen which lacks an internal tuner to receive the broadcast signals is called a monitor rather than a television. A television may be built to receive different broadcast or video formats, such as high-definition television, or prefferably referred to as (HDTV).
