What problem did the television help solve?

Answer 1

Television helped to solve the problem of the "tyranny of distance", i.e. the lack of communication between countries separated by distance. It solved problems of misunderstanding between cultures by enabling people to see how the rest of the world lived. It solved the visual problem of the media which was restricted by only being able to offer audio (via radio) or print (e.g. newspapers and magazines). It brought news and entertainment into the home in a way no previous media had been able to do.

Answer 2

The television helped solve the problem of distance communication by allowing for real-time audiovisual transmission of information across vast distances. It revolutionized entertainment and news dissemination by providing a visual medium for storytelling and information sharing. Additionally, it played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and cultural norms through its ability to reach mass audiences simultaneously.
