Today is almost a family member. It has become an apparatus itself the times through which we learn (and desinformamos) what happens in the world, although in many cases not even reaches us deserve the adjective news event, and this regardless of how we sell it.

Definitely one of the most important moments in the history of this country (recent) was the arrival and subsequent generalization TV color . Almost as if it were a metaphor, Spanish TV introduces modernity as color coinciding with the arrival of the Constitution, leaving behind almost forty years of dictatorship and gray in black and white.

But times were changing. The first time TVE aired in color, but for the rest of the world and borrowed cameras, was in the Eurovision Song Contest 1969 from Madrid . Note that at the time, public television in Spain uses the PAL system allowing it to move to the emission color. However, this still will be delayed a few years because they do not have the infrastructure required for this.

From 1973 emissions begin to be reconciled in color and black and white and not until 1978 when produce the final color change, ie, almost three decades later that the first broadcast of its kind in the U.S. will be held in early 50.

social phenomenon
No doubt, television has created a social phenomenon, and without going into current programs that are credited with this power. This technological device was a privilege of a few , which soon became part of the consumer boom. Some studies in the late 60s and early 70s, about every TV an average of 20 people, number rising significantly if the relay had to do with, for example, an important soccer match met ( has not changed much the thing).

technological change and innovation
Beside the white and black, color is an important development from the technological point of view. The first experiments were carried out in the late 20s of last century, although in the forties a Mexican engineer Guillermo González Camarena , develops Tricomático Sequential System Campos, patenting and in the U.S. a few years later, evolve under the name Field Sequential System.

Then start the first serious evidence, through the American RCA . However, its high cost soon shattered, although continued research in this area.

The great technological impact, and which ultimately would result in what later became known as color television was the appearance of the NTSC system 50, which finally succeeded and that was the genesis of other advances in the art, such as PAL or SECAM .

HD
those systems comes to high definition, which developed almost thirty different types of television, differentiated mainly by the number of lines and pixels per line. 90s are just as what many now call ‘the idiot box’ was already so widespread that every household had more than one.

Since the advent of color television to today, perhaps this device has been one of the most advanced as far as innovation is concerned.

It is true that its development has been inversely proportional to the product quality offered by different brands. In a unique television (with its second channel) we have moved to the regional, general, shopping, theme … and although very recently the government removed a number of them corresponding to the phase in which we (Digital Television land), the tv is still a social phenomenon but, at present, without the connotations of time.
