Televisions
One of the best inventions in the world of digital media, television is a telecommunicating system that transmits images, accompanied with sounds and special effects, over a long distance. The word television is derived from two words ? tele (which means "far" in Greek) and visio (which means "vision" or "sight" in Latin).
Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, a German student, proposed the first electromechanical television system in 1885. The discovery of cathode ray tubes in 1897, by K. F. Braun was a major landmark.
Later in 1927, Philo Taylor Farnsworth envisioned the first fully electronic system. He conducted the world's premier public demonstration of an all-electronic television system on August 25, 1934, at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.
Besides Farnsworth, Vladimir Kosma Zworykin is also sometimes called the Father of the television because of his invention of iconoscope in 1923 and kinescope in 1929. On July 3, 1928, John Logie Baird demonstrated the world's first color transmission, which was a turning point in the history of televisions. Meanwhile, the Americans began their first full scheduled television service.
The first color television system approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) employed a motor-driven disk in three primary colors, developed by the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS). In 1950, the FCC declared it as the standard one for the U.S.
At the same time, Radio Corporation of America (RCA) developed a similar compatible system, which later became more popular than the CBS system.
Standard definition TV (SDTV) and high definition TV (HDTV) are the two categories of display formats for digital television (DTV) transmissions, which are known for their higher-quality viewing experience.
Televisions are at present the prime source of entertainment and education. They are a fertile ground for advertising, as they are the easiest tools to reach out to the public. Plasma Televisions, LCD Televisions, and Flat Screen Televisions feature as the prominent kinds..
?Bleeding Edge? Polymer Semiconductor Research Receives Acclaims
A team of material scientists, led by Professor Samson A. Jenekhe formerly of the University of Rochester's Department of Chemical Engineering, have developed a family of plastic electroluminescent devices.
This family of technologies has potential applications in more efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and solar cells, video displays, as well as other electronic devices, and is the subject of U.S. Patent 6,605,904.
Jenekhe's research was recently recognized by Thomson research company in its "Fast Moving Fronts," which identifies trends and growth areas within materials sciences and other disciplines.
His research is focused on one of the major challenge of developing plastic, or polymer-based, semiconductors ? to make efficient, high-performance semiconductors for use in applications where traditional polymer semiconductors fall short.
These high-performance semiconductors are called multicomponent organic semiconductors.
The challenge...

Behavioral Economics? What's That?
A new science sheds light on some of our most important decisions. Behavioral economics is the study of how and why people make money-related decisions. As a science it is relatively new, although some of its findings have been known intuitively by good salesmen and marketers for many years. Much of what has been learned from recent studies, however, has not yet been applied systematically in the real world of business. Here are some of the things the studies have shown thus far:
Confirmation Bias
We tend to act economically in a way that confirms current belief. When buying the same model of Mecedes, for example, current owners, who presumably already believe in the value of a Mercedes, pay $7,000 more, on average, than new Mercedes customers.I'm sure you can imagine the value of this knowledge to companies that sell high-priced items.
Decision Paralysis
Studies show that, given four samples of jam, for example, people actually spent more than when they... Behavioral Economics? What's That?

The importance of Thanksgiving every day
Thanksgiving is the most important holiday of the year.Oh, sure, Christmas is grand, and I know it has many, many fans. I'm not knocking Christmas, but The Thanksgiving story is more important. And Easter has its fans, too. Rebirth is a wonderful thing, but I still say Thanksgiving is more important. Yes, kids jump for joy at the thought of Halloween.
I am sure they enjoy the costumes almost as much as overdose on sugar and chocolate, but the Thanksgiving story is even more important.Why?Because the two most important words in the English language are "Thank You". This is true for business success, for social pleasure, even for self-actualization.For business success, a thank you tells a prospect or partner that you are appreciative of what she has just done. It shows you have a genuine interest in that person and the business relationship.For social interaction, expressing gratitude is equally important to show how you value the other person and the social relationship you have...

Business Promotional Items - How to Stimulate Word of Mouth Advertising
If the promotional items you give out end up in the attic or shoved in the back of a desk drawer, they are probably not doing what they are supposed to be doing.
However, if items you passed out to clients and customers are being seen again and again, chances are, word-of-mouth advertising is stimulating your business.
With media (radio, televisions and newspaper), messages can come and go.
But, the exposure promotional items can give equals longevity.
While there is no real scientific way to measure how many impressions an item can receive in its lifetime, we know that it works and ultimately gets well over its money's worth.
I used to work at a radio station that passed out license plates.
We had a very fun logo- and still after ten years of being on the air, they are a sought out item.
We began to limit the number that were handed out at live action broadcasts, and that drew people to event after event....
