The future of TV
A few years ago TV didn´t have colors, it only had black and white. After some research, specialists discovered the TV with colors and this was considerated the most important progress. We think that in the future this way of entertainment will suffer one little transformation but nothing especial because nowadays the market is so saturated with the most advanced systems that we can ´t imagine other surprise in TV.
Children and teens often become very violent because they have seen much violence on television and copy what they see. Often they become so fascinated with a certain character that they do everything to become like her and this can be very dangerous because they fail to act for themselves.

Types of TV Programs
Everyone is unique and everybody loves something different. This applies to people's tastes in everything. We don't like one type of food, we listen to some specific music, we don't like to wear similar clothes, we don't even like to talk like others. And concerning TV shows our tastes are also different. Some of us like comedy shows, others like watch news or only soap operas. It all depends of the personality you have! Well, it's hard to even count how many types of shows (or television programs) there are on modern television.
- Soap operas are probably most widespread and popular types of TV shows all over the world. They are both loved by the audience and the TV producers as well – the more people watch them, the more money they'll get. The main feature of soap operas is of course showing the twists and turns of lives of the main characters.
- Comedy shows. The subgenres of this genre are numerous: improvisational comedy, stand-up comedy, musical comedy and many others. The world famous comedy shows are The Benny Hill Show, Mr. Bean and many others.
- Animated television shows, or cartoons are most loved by younger viewers. There are many types of animated shows now, and many of them are not even intended to be watched by children.
- Talk Shows or chat show is a television or radio program where one person (or group of people) will discuss various topics. Sometimes, talk shows feature a panel of guests, usually consisting of a group of people who are learned or who have great experience in relation to whatever issue is being discussed on the show for that episode. Other times, a single guest discusses their work or area of expertise with a host.

My mother
Who sat and watched my infant head
When sleeping on my cradle bed,
And tears of sweet affection shed?
My Mother.
When pain and sickness made me cry,
Who gazed upon my heavy eye,
And wept for fear that I should die?
My Mother.
Who taught my infant lips to pray
And love God’s holy book and day,
And walk in wisdom’s pleasant way?
My Mother.
And can I ever cease to be
Affectionate and kind to thee,
Who wast so very kind to me,
My Mother?
Ah, no! the thought I cannot bear,
And if God please my life to spare
I hope I shall reward they care,
My Mother.
When thou art feeble, old and grey,
My healthy arm shall be thy stay,
And I will soothe thy pains away,
My Mother.

Tornadoes!
Tornadoes develop inside a low pressure area that has high winds. The center of the vortex (something that resembles a whirlpool) of the tornado is a very low pressure area. As more air comes in, the pressure lowers, which cools the air down.
The funnel speed is usually estimated at a little more than three hundred miles per hour. Scientists have estimated that a few extremely strong storms have had speeds at up to five hundred miles per hour.
Tornadoes can make a lot of destruction and wipe out entire cities!
These natural phenomenous are a small sample of what nature is capable!
