2. The first electromechanical television can be traced back to 1884. It was invented by German student Paul Gottlieb Nipkow. It wasn't until 1907 that developments in amplification tube technology made the design practical. The first demonstration of the instantaneous transmission of still duotone images was by Georges Rignoux and A. Fournier in Paris in 1909, using a rotating mirror-drum as the scanner, and a matrix of 64 selenium cells as the receiver. In 1911, Boris Rosing and his student Vladimir Kosma Zworykin created a television system that used a mechanical mirror-drum scanner to transmit, in Zworykin's words, "very crude images" over wires to the electronic Braun tube (cathode ray tube) in the receiver. On March 25, 1925, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird gave a demonstration of televised silhouette images in motion at Selfridge's Department Store in London. But if television is defined as the transmission of live, moving, half-tone (grayscale) images, and not silhouette, duotone, or still images, Baird first achieved this privately on October 2, 1925.
3. In 1920, Scotsman, John Logie Baird, invented the television In 1954, the first television was completed & released for consumer use. The first large amount of people to see television was at the 1934 World's Fair. On Sept. 7, 1927, 21 y/o Philo T. Farnsworth, performed the first successful demonstration of an all electronic television system in his lab, at 202 Green Street, in San Francisco, Ca.
