This television ad demonstrates, among other things, some of the promises that technologies (in this case, the television) made. Here, the television is advertised as a tool to bring family together. It's a recreational device for dad and children, but not mom. For mom, it's a device that allows her more time to get her work done by keeping the children occupied.
There's quite a bit here to deconstruct - I'll need to come back to it.
