Ten Years of Television and Its American Impact
New York writer William Ewald reflects on a decade of television since 1946, noting how the medium reshaped society. He cites rising ownership from 6,400 sets to about 40 million, a sprawling 70,000 miles of cables, and a shift in culture from politics to family life. He highlights figures like Lucille Ball and Ed Sullivan, the rise of advertising, and TV’s role as a national pastime, warning of a hypnotic social pull and the new narcotic of disfunction.
