In the first decade of the 21st century television programs continue to gain in popularity - and televisions are ubiquitous. Children start to watch television on their mobile phones and personal media players in class. Communities previously too remote or too poor to have television now have their own flat screen television, with key American television events such as the NBA (National Basketball Association) and the Banana Splits Show translated in real time into obscure languages like Inuit and Xanthu by automatic translation software. TV sets are seen every where from shopping centers, schools, restaurants, bars, sports arenas, and even hospitals. Criminals are allowed to watch TV in their prison cells as an incentive for "good behavior."

| - In the first decade of the 21st century television programs continue to gain in popularity - and televisions are ubiquitous. Children start to watch television on their mobile phones and personal media players in class. Communities previously too remote or too poor to have television now have their own flat screen television, with key American television events such as the NBA (National Basketball Association) and the Banana Splits Show translated in real time into obscure languages like Inuit and Xanthu by automatic translation software. TV sets are seen every where from shopping centers, schools, restaurants, bars, sports arenas, and even hospitals. Criminals are allowed to watch TV in their prison cells as an incentive for "good behavior." This is made possible by technological advances making television and translation services cheap. The days when "a television cost a year's salary" and "color was unheard of" are almost too distant to be a memory. Even the turn of the millennium 'blown glass' television sets with electron beams are considered archaic and quaint. With this exponential growth in television comes with an exponential growth in price; only two-income families with white-collar jobs can afford premium cable or satellite television. All other demographics must either purchase basic programming or pirate signals via fixes from the Internet (not suggested due to various legal and moral issues). Television taxes would complicate this issue in Canada starting in the early months of 2010 and eventually take over America as they merge with Canada and become Canadamerica in the year 2020.
