Television was never one person's vision -- as early as the 1820s, the idea began to germinate. Certainly by 1880, when a speculative article appeared in The Scientific American magazine, the concept of a working television system began to spread on an international scale.
At the dawn of the twentieth century, there were a few American laboratories leading the way: Bell, RCA, and GE. It wasn't until 1927, when 21-year-old Philo T. Farnsworth, beat everyone to the punch by producing the first electronic television picture. This historic breakthrough catapulted him into a decades-long patent battle against major corporations, including RCA and CBS. The battle took its toll on everyone and RCA’s David Sarnoff brilliantly marketed this invention to the public and became known as the father of television -- while Philo T. Farnsworth died in relative obscurity.
Experimental broadcast television began in the early 1930s, transmitting fuzzy images of wrestling, music and dance to a handful of screen. It wasn't until the 1939 World's Fair in New York, where RCA unveiled their new NBC TV studios in Rockefeller Plaza, that network television was introduced. A few months later, William Paley’s CBS began broadcasting from its new TV studios in Grand Central Station.
Now that television worked, how could these networks profit on their investment? Who would create the programming that would sell their TV sets? How would they dominate this new commercial medium, without destroying their hugely profitable radio divisions?

This question is about "A Quilt of a Country"
Answer and Explanation:
Mario Cuomo's enigma was exposed to show how the USA imposes the concept of individualism on its growing population and encourages the adoption of this concept in all possible activities, however, in addition to being a defining concept of the American population, it is also a concept that is in constant conflict, thus creating a "social paradox", so to speak, because the nation that grew in an individualistic way, sees itself in various situations where it needs to work in the collectivity and in solidarity.
Within the text, Quindlen uses this concept of conflict between the collective and individualism as support for the argument that the USA is a multicultural nation, full of the most different ethnicities, but all this difference does not prevent the country made up of a single people that is subject to a single government.
