Research Essay Assignment: History of Television
Engage in primary research in order to craft an essay that outlines the historical details/context of the early development of color television.

Questions to consider:
What was the technology exactly and how was the invention/innovation process described? Are there predictions of how it would impact society and/or the industry? What problem was it claiming to solve? Are there other technologies that it is compared to? Do you notice a change in how it is discussed or what its application was expected to be over time? Does it represent a major shift in aesthetics, production, business practices, spectatorship or entertainment forms?

Thesis: Color television has promoted the development of entertainment.

MUST CONTAIN A MINMUM OF 8 PRIMARY SOURCES.
Primary sources also include books published on your topic from the period. For example, a book on color television technology from 1950 would be a primary source if you were to write about the development of color television in the postwar years. However, a similar book published in 2002, would not be a primary source for postwar color television.
