Television, also called TV, is one of the most significant means of communication. It brings moving pictures and sounds from around the world into billions of homes.

Through television, viewers can see and learn about people, places, and things in distant lands. Television can take viewers into the depths of the ocean, out into space, and into strange worlds that can be seen only beneath a microscope.
