TV Johnathan Morris

When the television was invented, only wealthy, high class people could afford them and rather than watch one of the like two channels that were available, they would put it in their living room so everyone that came into their house knew how rich they were. It was more of a status symbol than anything else. Nowadays nearly every family in America has a TV in everyroom of their house. Is walking to the family room to watch TV with your loved ones really that much of chore? Dont't get me wrong I love watching TV when I'm bored just as much as the next guy, but when did everyone having their own TV become so common? It's not common for every member of the household to have a refrigerator or microwave, which in my opinion are more of a necessity than a television. "But you can share those things" you might think. How hard is it to share a TV, something that has no real use in your life?
