  • Lol yet again USA forget the actual truth of the invention of television because they wern't involved.

  • NOT recommended for above 7th grade. Highly simplified, to the point of sometimes misleading, and with outright errors throw n in. 1939 for example, at the fair, was NOT the first public view of TV. Farnsworth did it at a public Philadelphia museum around 1936. And there are numerous other problems including making it sound like Farnsworth signed with RCA, when it was RCA bitterly capitulating to Farnsworth to pay fees to him. The information about Zworykin pre-1920 is simply wrong.

  • hello

    where is John Logie Baird?

    he is not from USA I know... but hey!

  • @lazzer408 No, the production value on this is too amateur to be funded by anything as big as RCA. This has all the pizzazz of a college project, and I'm guessing that's what it is. I was a broadcasting major in the early '70s, and all we were taught was RCA, RCA, RCA. Of course, I've learned since then that it's completely untrue.
