First, televisions has definitely improved in quality over several years and it’s an absolute must have item in any house hold for entertainment.

During 1998, televisions upgraded to flat-screens and this brought an end to the first gen of televisions. Now during 2019, televisions has now become known as QLED 8K screens.

I agree with the main point that the author is trying to convey, Technology is always gonna have improvements done to it and it’s a given. If I could say something to the author, I would say “what was the very first form of home entertainment did you have growing up”. Everyone was a kid at one point in their lives and the first thing that I had was a Gameboy device to play my game. The way the author wrote this document with the main point explained clearly and supported as well with a time line containing the names of important innovations of their time. Having a time line with organized dates and information makes this document more credible and therefore the words hold more meaning.
