    History of television

    The television has become such an integral part of homes


    in the modern world that it is hard to imagine life without
    television. The television provides entertainment to people of all
    ages. Not just for entertainment value, but TV is also a valuable
    resource for advertising and different kinds of programming. The
    television as we see it and know it today was not always this way.
    Let’s take a brief look at the history of television and how it came
    into being.

    Timeline of TV History

    Different experiments by various people, in the field of


    electricity and radio, led to the development of basic technologies
    and ideas that laid the foundation for the invention of television.
    In the late 1800s, Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, a student in
    Germany, developed the first ever mechanical module of television.
    He succeeded in sending images through wires with the help of a
    rotating metal disk. This technology was called the ‘electric
    telescope’.
    Around 1907, two separate inventors, A.A. Campbell-
    Swinton from England and Russian scientist Boris Rosing, used
    other inventions to create a new television system.
    From the experiments of Nipkow and Rosing, two types of
    television systems came into existence: mechanical television and
    electronic television.

    Mechanical Television History

    In 1923, an American inventor called Charles Jenkins used


    the disk idea of Nipkow to invent the first ever practical mechanical
    television system. By 1931, his model 100 was being sold in a
    complete kit as a mechanical television.
    In 1926, just a little after Jenkins, a British inventor known
    as John Logie Baird, was the first person to have succeeded in
    transmitting moving pictures through the mechanical disk system
    started by Nipkow. He also started the first ever TV studio.
    From 1926 till 1931, the mechanical television system saw
    many innovations. Although the discoveries of these men in the
    department of mechanical television were very innovative, by 1934,
    all television systems had converted into the electronic system,
    which is what is being used even today.

    Electronic Television History

    The experiments of Swinton in 1907 held great potential


    but were not converted into reality. Finally, in 1927, Philo Taylor
    Farnsworth was able to invent a working model of electronic
    television that was based on Swinton’s ideas.
    His experiments started when he was just a little boy of 14
    years. By the time he became 21, Philo created the first electronic
    television system, which did away with the rotating disks and other
    mechanical aspects of mechanical television. Thus was born the
    television system which is the basis of all modern TVs.
    All the early television systems were black and white,
    with color television being invented much later on. Since the early
    invention of television in the beginning of the 1900s, history has
    seen many changes in the area of television.
