Television continues to be the single largest source of video consumption. Though screen sizes have changed, and people create, post, stream and consume content on different platforms, the number of households with television sets around the world continues to rise. The interaction between emerging and traditional forms of broadcast creates a great opportunity to raise awareness about the important issues facing our communities and our planet.
In the 21st century, what is the purpose of a TV? It's not just a one-way channel for broadcast and cable content anymore. Modern televisions offer a wide range of multimedia and interactive content, such as streaming videos, music, and internet browsing.
Despite the shift in audiovisual content consumption to different platforms and the constantly evolving technology, TV still remains an important communication tool. As the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization reminds us, World Television Day is a celebration of how television has become a symbol of connection and globalization in the 21st century.
