Adding a panel for "Television" to the collage

One of the key changes in the 1950s was the advent of Television sets in every person's home. It was a completely new way for people to express public opinion, etc. Besides, it would be neglectful not to feature this key technological change in the collage of images. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.55.196.159 (talk) 18:03, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
