== Purpose == Originally, JumboTrons solely displayed the scores of the games via numerical displays. This then evolved into instant replays being shown for the benefit of fans within the stadiums or arena, and in modern day, social media is heavily integrated, with fans being urged to post on various social media platforms to then have their content appear on the JumboTron screen.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The History β And Uncertain Future β Of The Jumbotron|url=https://www.wbur.org/onlyagame/2015/11/28/mary-pilon-jumbotron-history-fututre|access-date=2021-04-14|website=www.wbur.org|date=28 November 2015 |language=en}}</ref> Sony JumboTron's were the world's first mobile screens and concert screens.
