In what year was the television invented?

Question

And who owned the first one?

Answer 1

The Scotsman John Logie Baird invented television in the 1920s, by bringing together the work of some others, notably Paul Nipkow, who invented a spinning disk used to scan the image.

The first public demonstration of television was in a department store, Selfridges, in London England, by Mr Baird himself. This took place in 1925. The system was successful enough to become commercialised, and the BBC began the world's first regular television broadcasts, using the Baird system, in 1936. By 1939, there were over 20,000 TV sets in use in and around London. A year later, in 1940, baird demonstrated a set which was capable of receiving colour pictures and stereo sound!

The problem with the Baird system is that it was mechanical in design, and so it was unreliable. For this reason, it was eventually superceded by a system based on Farnsworth's development of an electronic system.

So, in answer to the question, "When was television invented?", although many people had a hand in it, the best answer is probably that it was developed in the early twentieth century, but television service as we know it began in 1936.

The first concept of the television was a sketch done by a 14-year-old farm boy named Philo T. Farnsworth in 1922. On September 7, 1927, he finally created a television system that could not only display, but transmit signals between seperate rooms. (see above)

Here is additional input and links to sites of interest regarding the invention of the television:

* I believe it was in 1954 that the first television was completed and released for consumer use. (See above)

* I'm not sure exactly when it was invented, but the first large amount of people to see it was at the 1934 World's Fair. (See above)

* Research Filo T Farnsworth. That should give you plenty of information.

* Approximately 75 years ago (7 September, 1927) twenty-one-year-old Philo T Farnsworth performed the first successful demonstration of an all-electronic television system in his laboratory at 202 Green Street in San Francisco, USA.

Answer 2

TV started in the late 1800s and was developed by several countries. The system we use now was invented by Farnsworth in the 1927, however there were several kinds in use in other countries. As far as the first public broadcast the first NBC Television "network" program was broadcast on January 12, 1940 out of New York City, so I imagine there had to be tv sets out in public to receive it. RCA made sets in the 1940s. There are so many TV stories about who and when it is difficult to know for sure. It will take more searching.
