World Television Day, observed on November 21, celebrates the role of the idiot box in our life. The United Nations recognised this day in 1966 to celebrate and create awareness about the role of television in visual communication across the world. While the world is fast shifting to the internet for content consumption, we surely can't deny the importance of TV in our lives.
The television has an important place in our memories and was undoubtedly the best-preferred way of entertainment back in the day. TV is still the first preference of entertainment for most of the Indians and it only shows the power and impact of visual communication in our life.
The impact of TV on shaping generations is immense. From only one channel to now an uncountable number across the world, television has expanded drastically. On this special day, TV lovers took to Twitter to thank the idiot box while some took a walk down the memory lane.
The Tata Group shared a special video of an old TV ad from the 90s and asked people to guess the brand in the commercial.
