Daddddddddddddddddddyyy I think.... The Berlin airlift was important because it prevented West Berlin from falling into the control of the Soviet Union after World War II. The Soviet Union was blockading the parts of Berlin that were occupied and administered by the United States, Great Britain and France. The airlift was the only means of transporting food and other supplies to the besieged inhabitants of the city.
I don't think TV is as important now as it was back then because other than going outside and socializing there wasn't much to do on your own. TV opened up a whole new cultural aspect in America and allowed news to spread more widely.
