What I found very interesting in this chapter is the creation of cable and how it all it all came about. The chapter talks about how CATV, which stands for Commnity Antenna Television was one of the first small cable vision system. These systems were set up in places that were remote or near tall buildings that blocked boradcasting systems. I found that to be an interesting point because I've heard of the term CATV, but I did not know that that was one of the first cable systems (thats kind of cool).
What I found hilarious to read in the chapter was when television programming only having two distinct genres on tv. These genres were entertainment and information channels. This is interesting to me because todays television is the same way with the added bonus of a lot of reality tv shows. Television is constantly changing and adapting to new technology. It makes me curious to know how television will be ten years from now!
