In the 1880s a German inventor created simplistic moving images using a filtered light viewed through a spinning disk, laying the foundations for the modern television. During the 1920s, a number of scientists began experimenting, with sending still images using radio waves. However, itwas in 1928 that General Electric first combined the idea of a device that could show moving images with the technology to wirelessly broadcast them. During the 30s and 40s, the technology was gradually improved upon. in America, the first regular broadcasts began in 1939 though it was not until after the Second World War that the television as a standard home appliance began to really take off, After 1945, television sales in America skyrocketed. The first colour broadcast was made in 1954, ‘Throughout the rest of the world, television came years later, and it wasn’t until the late 1960s that television was commonplace in houses throughout the West.

This is the cause of frequent earthquakes and the presence of many volcanoes and hot springs across Japan. if earthquakes occur below or close to the ocean, they may trigger tidal waves (tsunami). Many parts of the country have experienced devastating earthquakes and tidal waves in the past.

The desireto explore spaceis nearly primalfor Homo sapiens. Early humans quickly spread out of Africa to every region on the planet, then came to speculate that the stars and planets were yet other material places worthy of exploration. The idea to travel to these other worlds was inevitable. However, for thousands of years, humans commonly drew fundamental distinctions between the Earth and non-Earth environments. nthe formulation of Aristotle taught that the laws of nature that applied on Earth did not necessarily apply beyond the Earth, thus severely restricting the very possibilities for human space exploration. During the great age of European exploration of the Earth, astronomers suchas Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) and his contemporary, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), began the modern observational exploration of the heavens, in fact of space, using new techniques and instruments of science, A result of this exploration of space was the scientific revolution itself.
