Changes

'''Television''' is a medium characterized by the simultaneous dissemination and reproduction (often thousands of miles away) of either a scene captured and shown while it is taking place, or the recording of such a scene or scenes that took place earlier. The word comes from the prefix, "tele" meaning distant, and "vision" pertaining to sight.
