摘要

When television began in its experimental form in the 1930s, the medium was indeed the message, to echo the words of philosopher of culture Marshall McLuhan. For the first time, an audiovisual recording from anywhere on Earth could be transmitted into viewers' living rooms. Nobody knew the implications of such an intimate form of communication. Science was certainly on people's minds as they gazed into the green glow of the sets on display at the 1939 New York World's Fair, which took as its motto "The World of Tomorrow." Those who might have shuddered in horror at Orson Welles's radio broadcast of an alien invasion in "War of the Worlds" the year before gasped as they confronted shimmering, equally alien images. Cameras picked up fairgoers' amazed reactions, which were beamed out to the barely 1,000 families who owned televisions.
