WHO INVENTED TELEVISION?
1884- paul nipkow, a german engineer, patents the first mechanical television system. He
conceived the idea of using a spiral-perforated disk to divide a picture into a mosaic of points
and lines.
1907- Boris Rosing, a Russian physicist used Nipkow’s idea to experiment and develop the first
working television system that could display simple images.
1923- The Scottish engineer, John Logie Baird successfully transmits moving images for the first
time using a mechanical simple images by using a rotating disk with holes arranged in a spiral
pattern.----1926- Baird demonstrated the world’s first live working coloured television system.
1927-1928- Electronic television was first successfully demonstrated in San Francisco. The
system was designed by Philo Taylor Farnsworth,
1930s- television sets becomes available for purchase and television broadcast already begun in
several parts of the world, including the united states and the united kingdom.---------1939- the first regular television broadcasts in the US has begun, with only limited programming
and coverage.
1940s-1960- as technology continuously evolved, television becomes a widespread form of
entertainment and information around the world, leading to the development of various genres of
programming such as news, sports, drama, and comedy.
Electronic television was first successfully demonstrated in San Francisco on Sept. 7, 1927. The
system was designed by Philo Taylor Farnsworth, a 21-year-old inventor who had lived in a
house without electricity until he was 14. While still in high school, Farnsworth had begun to
conceive of a system that could capture moving images in a form that could be coded onto radio
waves and then transformed back into a picture on a screen. Boris Rosing in Russia had
conducted some crude experiments in transmitting images 16 years before Farnsworth's first
success. Also, a mechanical television system, which scanned images using a rotating disk with
holes arranged in a spiral pattern, had been demonstrated by John Logie Baird in England and
Charles Francis Jenkins in the United States earlier in the 1920s. However, Farnsworth's
invention, which scanned images with a beam of electrons, is the direct ancestor of modern
television.
The following are some of the ways how television influenced the curse of the human history.
1. Changes in Communication and Information dissemination: Television revolutionized the way
information and media were shared, making it possible to instantly disseminate news and
entertainment to a large audience.
2. Shaping cultural norms and values: Television has been a powerful tool for shaping cultural
norms and values by exposing people to new ideas, lifestyles, and perspectives.
3. Political influence: Television has played a significant role in shaping political discourse and
decision-making. Political campaigns, debates, and advertising have all been influenced by the
medium.
4. Advertising and consumer culture: Television has played a significant role in the growth of
consumer culture by providing a platform for advertisers to reach a large audience.
5. Impact on family and social dynamics: Television has changed the way people interact with
each other and the way families spend their leisure time. It has also raised questions about the
impact of screen time on children and their development.
