I'd like to start off by saying that I want to go to the museum of television! Trip to Toronto, Canada anyone?
Interesting things I've learned from this website:
1939 NY's World's Fair opened with the theme "Building the World of Tomorrow". Here people introduced new products to consumers. These consumers had no idea how much these new products would impact their lives. (Ex: Plastic and Televisions)
John Vassos created the motto of " Radio Living Room of Today" this stressed that a radio was the perfect furnishing for every living room and that everyone should have one. It was a device that was a combination radio/tv/record player/recording system/stereo system.
Marilyn Monroe's career started all because of television. "Movies made her a star. Television made her a legend." Marilyn's first televised work was in a gas commercial for the gasoline company "Royal Triton" (1950)
I also learned that the classic beauty was often nervous when being filmed or interviewed.
