The Invention of Television

Today's American history was about television. Television has changed the world. In 1940s, TV broadcast started in the US. It became popular rapidly, and influenced the world. 

If television wasn't invented, JFK wouldn't be the president of the United States, the Vietnam war would last longer.

Shinkansen

I watched a TV show featered Shinkansen-line in Japan. I'm really proud of Shinkansen because the trains are safe, comfortable and of course, fast. 

At first, the government and critics didn't think Shinkansen was effective because they thought air planes would bcome more important transportation system. But Shinkansen made a big success. 

Many countries have learn from Shinkansen transportation system and many European cities tied with the high-speed rail lines like Shinkansen now. 

Several years ago, Chinese high-speed trains were crashed and many people were killed by the accident. If the Chinese railway company had learned high-speed railway technology from Japan, the accident wouldn't have happened. I feel sorry for the victims. 

Police Drama

Even though I don't watch TV drama so often, I can find a lot of police drama on TV. My wife watches almost all of  these kind of dramas. While she is watching police dramas, I can't talk to her. If I say something, she would get mad at me. Her most favorite detective drama is "Aibou". During the "Aibou" time, only I can do is sit still or studying English in silent. 

A 24 Hours of Sir Richard Brandon

I watched a TV show about Richerd Brandon. He is the founder of Virgin Group. The documentary showed us a 24 hours of his activity. He flew from the U.K to the U.S, Chicago. Every places people including his staff wanted to have pictures taken with him and he welcomed to do that all of them with big smiles. Once he appeared, the atomothphere there turned into bright and cheerful. He definitely is something.
