I feel really dumb. but I have to ask. I relly have to get this report done?

Question

where was the first television invented? What impact did the first television have on society? Where was the first color television invented? What impact did the first color television have on society? Where was the first LCD television invented? What impact did the first LCD television have on society?
Thats all the information I need right now for this report. any help I can get would be great. Thanks!

Answer 1

That question apparently opens a can of worms, so to speak. It is hotly disputed. It took many inventors.

Not Philo Farnsworth is remembered as being the father of television. In 1921, the fourteen year old mormon had an idea while working on his father's Idaho farm. While mowing hay, he realized that an electronic beam could scan a picture in horizontal lines. At he same time, Russian immigrant Vladmire Zworykin designed a camera that focused an image through a lens.

Farnsworth applied for a patent for his image disector in 1927.
David Sarnoff hired Zworykin to RCA to insure that RCA would control television industry. In 1934 RCA demonstrated it's iconscope a tube very similar to Farn'sworth . This started the patent wars.

Another player of the times was the Scottish engineer, John Logie Baird . He achieved simple face shapes from transmissions in 1925. Only silhouettes were visible.

In 1940, prior to RCA, CBS researchers led by Peter Goldman invented a mechanical colour television similar to John Logie Baird's design. RCA sued to stop CBS. The Korean War bought them some time. Color television production was halted. These factors enabled RCA to build a better color television which was based ona 1947 patent under Alfred Schroeder. The sales of RCA color televisions began in 1954.

James Fergason, born in Missouri, was the inventor of LCD ( liquid crystal display).This was an dynamic scattering method where an electrical charge rearranges the molecules.

Today ninety nine percent of homes have television sets. Sixty nine percents have two or more. Thirty three percent have three or more.

It took television thirteen years to acquire fifty million users. It took the telephone seventy five years. It took the internet five years.

Answer 2

Television was not invented by a single inventor, instead many people working together and alone over the years, contributed to the evolution of television.
1831-1900 1901-1927 1928-1950 1951-present

1831
Joseph Henry's and Michael Faraday's work with electromagnetism jumpstarts the era of electronic communication.
1862 First Still Image Transferred
Abbe Giovanna Caselli invents his Pantelegraph and becomes the first person to transmit a still image over wires.
1873
Scientists May and Smith experiment with selenium and light, this reveals the possibilty for inventors to transform images into electronic signals.
1876
Boston civil servant George Carey was thinking about complete television systems and in 1877 he put forward drawings for what he called a selenium camera that would allow people to see by electricity.
Eugen Goldstein coins the term "cathode rays" to describe the light emitted when an electric current was forced through a vacuum tube.

Late 1870s
Scientists and engineers like Paiva, Figuier, and Senlecq were suggesting alternative designs for Telectroscopes.
1880
Inventors Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison theorize about telephone devices that transmit image as well as sound.
Bell's Photophone used light to transmit sound and he wanted to advance his device for image sending.

George Carey builds a rudimentary system with light-sensitive cells.
