    Yes, but don’t forget that you usually had 4-8 per household, so its not like everyone is getting their very own individual television.

    Also I wasn’t saying that television was massive, I said the concept of them were and there was immense research and development into the technology. Effort that was redirected because of the war.

    Also, “In 1946, 7,000 TV sets were sold; in 1948, 172,000 sets were sold; and in 1950, 5 million sets were sold. In 1950, just under 20 percent of American homes contained a TV set, but by 1960 the figure had reached 90 percent.” -Encyclopedia Britannica.
