至1967年。然而，在短时间内，几乎所有的电视节目都被制作成了彩色的,不出五年，彩色电视机的使用率就超过了黑白电视机。 当代：卫星电视 卫星用于播送电视节目始于1962年。卫星让远距离直播电视节目成为可能,大家在同一时间可以收到相同的电视节目。它们也使远离城市的人们可以收看电视，在农村和边远地区经常可以看到卫星天线。当然，只有一小部 分人拥有自己的卫星天线。然而，大多数人仍然受益于卫星电视，因为当地的电视公司把从卫星接收器接收到的信号传送给附近的居民。 Early history of sound recorders It all began in 1877，when Thomas Edison made the first recording of a human voice on his invention，the record player.Early record players used round tubes to record on.However，in 1887 Emile Berliner,a German living in the USA，invented a record player that used discs as alternatives to tubes，and so the modern record player was born.The first record players had to be wound up by hand and only played records that were two minutes long.Times surely have changed! Sound and video recorders In 1928，the first tape recorders used to copy sound were made in Germany.Most early recorders employed steel tape to record on，which made them heavy and difficult to use，or paper tape，which was easier to use but often broke.It was not until the early 1950s that most tape recorders began using plastic tape as they do today.Meanwhile，electrical components eventually became so small that，by the late 1960s，portable cassette players were developed，along with video recorders which were used by TV stations.By the late 1970s，video recorders small and cheap enough for home use were introduced. Sound and video go digital In 1982，the first CDs were made available.CDs are often used for storing and playing music because they have a much better sound quality than traditional records and cassettes.In 1993，the VCD was born,and in 1995，the DVD was invented.The DVD is now the standard for recording and playing back video. The future With the development of digital technology，sound and video can now be stored on a PC，on the Internet，or using some form of portable storage.This will soon make records，cassette recorders，CDs，DVDs and even TVs things of the past.Technology is now changing faster than most people can keep pace with.Who can foresee w
