In literature, the word “television” serves both as a symbol of modern mass communication and as a versatile storytelling device. In some texts, it appears in a technical or documentary context, providing numerical data on broadcast stations and consumer devices to underscore technological progress and societal reach ([1], [2], [3]). In fictional narratives, “television” evokes the immediacy of media coverage and cultural influence, from detailed descriptions of television coverage affecting public events ([4]) to its use in evoking futuristic or dystopian themes where images and broadcasts shape perception ([5], [6]). Other works employ the term in more intimate settings, portraying everyday life and personal interactions with television as a backdrop, thereby reflecting its dual role as both a unifying public medium and a personal, domestic presence ([7], [8]).
