Televisions in use

Television sets have been around just over 100 years and have made an incredible contribution to how people receive entertainment, news, and connections to other places and cultures in the world.  The map above shows that most of the worlds countries have television sets with China and the United States as the countries with the most televisions per person.  Globalization of technology has made it possible for countries all over the world to use the television.  This has also caused the globalization of entertainment and news.  Now that most of the world has obtained the technology to have television with cable news can be shared almost simultaneously around the world.  There are definite gaps in the world where news will most likely not reach the entire public's ears, but most of the northern hemisphere dominates the television scene.  This is due to the fact that more MDC's occupy the northern hemisphere.  China has jumped to the top of the list recently because of its ever growing population and the urbanization occurring throughout the country.  Some countries, mostly in the southern hemisphere, are still working towards becoming more technologically advanced.  As the world becomes even more globalized the southern hemisphere's countries should become larger on this map.
