Plugging In A TV Power Supply

By Brian Snyder


At no point in its history has the human being ever been the biggest, strongest animal. Almost every animal of comparable size has physical prowess that no human being can hope to match. Humankind was able to achieve such feats due to a quirk in the way it evolved. In exchange for the muscular development enjoyed by the other great apes, humanity would get vastly increased cognitive abilities. It was this intellect that allowed humanity to flourish, to notice that a pointy rock made for a good weapon and that attaching said pointy rock to a long stick would make for an even better one. This intellect is what allowed humanity to build cities great and small. But to build those cities required the use of machines and machines are always made up of smaller parts. Of course, component parts are not all that is required. There also has to be a source of energy like a TV Power Supply.

A television set is a box. Now, that box does nothing by itself. It can turn on if plugged in, but it really does not do anything by itself. But, it is a medium. It is the method by which media is delivered into a home.

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.

Locating that power source should not be too hard. After all, most houses are built with them already installed. So the only difficult thing will be to actually find them, as in finding their physical locations.

Of course, money will have to be an issue. Money does not travel into a private residence of its own accord. It has to be delivered there, mostly by a company. Now, that company is going to expect some form of compensation for doing this. Which means there has to be a payment, which can happen every month.

Safety must be a primary concern for everyone. No one wants their electrical socket burning down their house. So metal and liquids of all kinds have to be kept away from it. The last thing anyone wants is a short circuiting and then a subsequent fire.

People watch TV because it is entertaining. They can park themselves on the couch, pick up the remote control, and then flip to their desired channel where their favorite program is playing. If not, they can just find something vaguely palatable.

Now, the power grid in most developed countries should be consistent. But sometimes, they can just do down. Now, having a generator around can be a great way to work around such blackouts. Of course, if the blackout affect the station, then no personal generator is going to help with that.

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