In particular, O’Barr’s article does a good job of discussing the evolution of advertising in a way that is easy to digest and […]

Beginnings of TV Infographic

February 16, 2023

For the Infographic Assignment, I chose to do the beginnings of the television. I chose this topic because television is engrained into our daily lives, and I thought it would be interesting to learn about how it came to be. While researching, I found it hard to narrow down what would be included in the infographic, especially regarding the inventors.
