Neither of these were "killer apps". As has been noted for radio, 55% of American homes had TVs in 1954 (rising to 83% by 1958). This was an increase from 0.4% in 1948. During this time of rapid adoption, the most popular shows were primarily variety shows and eventually sitcoms (I Love Lucy). Soap operas have been a staple of daytime television since the early 1950's, but have never even been close to the most popular. Therefore, it would be hard to call them a "killer app". |
