Week 3: What I'vd Learned So Far

What was interesting and was new information to me was that after the war in the
1940's, the newly freed up assembly lines began manufacturing television sets. Something I found surprising was that people had been saving up from the war and began to spend their savings on tv sets. I didn't think anyone had much money during the war. Even back then companies were struggling with the fast pace of technology advancing itself. The television industry is constantly advancing and companies are racing to keep up.

It is amazing that after the war people freely spent hard earned money on entertainment.

Yeah, after the lean years of the Great Depression and the Great War, I'd be itching to finally buy myself a new toy too.
