How old is television? You probably know that a TV picture is shown on a tube. Engineers call it a cathode ray tube. The first such tube was made in 1897, but this tube couldn't show pictures from far away. That didn't happen until 1907. Then, in England in 1926, there was a public demonstration of TV that amazed people. 

Ten years later, there were still only about 100 TV sets in England. By the mid-l980's there were more than 100 million sets in the United States alone. There were millions more throughout the world. 

In July 1985, a benefit rock concert, held in both Europe and the U.S., was seen on television by hundreds of millions of people, all at the same time. Television certainly has made the world seem smaller.

If you have time, make an editing activity, like the one you just did, for a partner or another group. Just type a paragraph from any book you have handy, being sure to leave out all periods and capital letters. Print it out for someone to correct on paper. Or better yet, save it and AlphaSmart devices with another person, so you can "edit" each other's exercises.
