2. Television changed the culture of the United States and later the world. Americans began buying televisions in the 1950s, and by the end of the decade, 90% of families owned one. In the early 1960s Newton Minow served as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. Later, he was chairman of the board of PBS. He once described television as a “vast wasteland.” He also said, “When television is good, nothing is better. When it's bad, nothing is worse.” Reflect on this idea as you describe the changes television brought to America during the 1950s, how TV influenced society, and the implications TV would have for the future. please fast
