Plugging In A TV Power Supply

By Brian Snyder


For the majority of its time on this planet, upwards of ninety percent if broken down, human society existed as nomadic hunter gatherers. These early tribes moved from place to place, foraging for food and other resources. Eventually though, these tribes settled down. Now, they settled down near bodies of water, because the crops they were growing and the livestock they were raising needed water, as did their own bodies. Some of these early settlements would be the seeds from which the great civilizations of antiquity sprouted. Of course, society evolved as it is wont to do, and these civilizations were eventually supplanted by modern nation states. Of course, to build these nation states required the use of tools and machines. Now, these machines need an energy source, like a TV Power Supply.

The old boob tube. The box that rots the brain. That is the television. It is a device, generally the central appliance in the living room. It is not much by itself, but it is a medium from which media is consumed by an audience.

The reason that devices need a power source is simple. Because it has no internal means of generating its own energy. Without that energy, they are unable to work at their best, that is if they work at all. So there has to be an outside source to provide that energy.

Now, the act of finding that power source, or at least the vestibule for it, is not going to be all that difficult. Almost every house built after a certain time period will have electrical outlets. Some will be older than others, but with the right cord, it should still work just fine provided the parts are still okay.

Of course, money is going to be something that matters. Now, the power grid needs to be maintained. So the customers have to pay for the service which it provides. Otherwise, it would fall into complete and total disarray. Now, that disarray means that the service is provides becomes unavailable. Of course, not paying the bill also means that the company can decide to just stop providing electricity to the people who are not paying.

Safety is going to be an issue, but not that much of an issue. As longs as forks are not stuck into the socket, things should be fine. Liquid should also kept clear, as liquid and electricity do not mix well.

People watch television program for one good reason. Because they want to be entertained, and television is the most consistent way to achieve that. So many of them all over the world will sit down in front of one and then pick up the remote to find their favorite show, or at least one that everyone can agree on.

Consistency is key. But the unfortunate thing is that sometimes the grid just goes down. Nothing to be done about it. But having a backup would not hurt. Now, generators can be purchased. But it the grid failure is far reaching enough, then even the stations that deliver the shows can be affected, which means that the lights can come on, however there will be nothing but static on the screen.

Society runs on machines. Those machines are controlled by people. Luckily, people have the means to control them to keep society functioning.
