  • @maciria1 Yeah because I guess the TV has misinformed us of all the death and corruption worldwide too? Get a grip! I HATE people who say the Moon Landing was a hoax, despite the amount of evidence available. And why bring up the Moon Landing on a video about the history of the television? Also if you hate TV so much why are you watching and commenting on a video about it?! 

  • @Andreasito: Farnsworth invented the first electronic television. Nipkow developed a mechanical disk process. The disk system was never commercially successful. The cathray tube system is Farnsworth's contribution.

  • The truly inventor of the tv color was guillermo gonzalez camarena,

    want it or not, thats the true

  • 525 lines? Crappy NTSC maybe :-p

  • good lucking playing an xbox on that baird tv....

  • Guys don't use wikipedia as a source...the history of television is complex. It's best to go to "google books" website, type in "history of television" and read the previews of the books or even go to the library to pick up a copy and sit down and read.

  • Sorry Farnsworth .. the Apollo Moon Landing was Fake !

  • Like it or not guys the first broadcasting television was made 4 years before the fully electronic tv.

  • But we know today the man have never being on the moon ,,it was a fake show!!! that is why we should never believe on TV SHOW..TV was invented to disinform mankind..be aware of this box mind control!!!

  • After 1921, it take only 15 years to get the first televised speech .....it was the one from the infame '' Hitler '' . A tool for powerful propaganda ....just ask Ed Bernays.
