  • You have some facts wrong, you said the first TV was from 1930, but there were forms of TV way before 1930. Do more research.

  • Paul Nipkow proposed and patented the first electromech. television system in 1884. The earliest version of the CRT was invented by the German physicist Ferdinand Braun in 1897 and is also known as the Braun tube.

    Baird was the television pioneer however.

    The Germans have invented everything else, the scots can have this.

    Car and combustion engine - Karl Benz

    First flight - Karl Jatho

    First telephone - Johan Philip Reis

    First computer - Konrad Zuse

    V2 sub-orbital spaceflight - Wernher von Braun

  • Tv is my life always been the family i never had ,i am a telly addict sad i know

  • Americans say Philo Taylor Farnsworth.

    Scots say = John Logie Baird.

    Russians say = Vladimir Zworkin

    Germans say = Paul Nipkow

    Hungarians say = Denys Von Mihaly

    TRUTH is no one single person invented television, moreover it was a progressive innovation that was internationally contributed towards over time. The idea one could say cam from way back from the 'telephonoscope' in 1878.
