TV Trivia 06/14/2010
In the 1950s, television burst into the mainstream. While at the beginning of the decade only 9% of U.S. households had a television, over half had one by 1954 - and 86% had them by the end of the decade. The medium proved to be a powerful influence on American society. Over the same period, the United States was engaged in a technology race with the Soviet Union, as a component of the Cold War. American military and political dominance was bolstered by the nation's technologies that harnessed the power of the atom. This focus on technological superiority contributed to a national reverence of intelligence and knowledge. Today, most American households have multiple TVs in their homes and As Seen on TV Products appear on late-night infomercials as well as prime time commercial spots. Most Americans have purchased more than one As Seen on TV Product because they are affordable, useful and make life easier! ![]() Stay warm from head to toe with the Snuggie— a blanket with sleeves.
