percent of U.S. homes had at least one
television set, and those sets were on
for an average of more than seven
hours a day
Television’s Origin
Brief History:
There was no single inventor of the television, there were many
inventors working on the idea of watching pictures on a screen
Inventors from all over the world had been working on transmitting
pictures or objects onto a screen since the 1830’s, but the first
physical television didn’t evolve until the 1900’s.
Inventors
Five men became the most popular and prestigious
inventors of what we know today as television, giving the
history of TV a rich beginning
Paul Nipkow
John Baird
Charles Jenkins
Vladimir Zworykin
Philo Farnsworth
They each contributed significantly to the
development of television technology
Mechanical vs. Electronic
S At the dawn of television history there were two distinct paths of
technology experimented with by researchers.
S Early inventors attempted to either build a mechanical television
system based on the technology of Paul Nipkow's rotating disks; or
they attempted to build an electronic television system using a
cathode ray tube.
S Electronic television systems worked better and eventual replaced
mechanical systems.

S Cable television, formerly known as
Community Antenna Television or CATV, was
born in the mountains of Pennsylvania in the
late 1940's. The first successful color

entered the American home. The first TV
