Evolution of Television

The document summarizes the evolution of television from 1831 to the present, highlighting several key milestones: - Early experiments in electromagnetism and transmitting still images over wires in the 1830s-1870s laid the foundations for television. - Paul Nipkow transmitted the first images over wires using a rotating disk in 1884, while inventors like Bell and Edison theorized about transmitting both images and sound. - Electronic television technology advanced in the 1920s-1930s, with Philo Farnsworth creating the first fully electronic TV system and Vladimir Zworykin developing crucial camera and receiver components. - After World War 2, broadcast television networks emerged and programming expanded,

Evolution of

Television
Group 4
Television
-according to the Merriam-Webster, a television is
an electronic system of transmitting transient
images of fixed or moving objects together with
sound over a wire or through space by apparatus
that converts light and sound into electrical waves
and reconverts them into visible light rays and
audible sound.
A HISTORICAL TIMELINE
OF THE EVOLUTION OF THE
TELEVISION (1831-1884)
1831
-JOSEPHHENRY’S AND MICHEAL
FARADAY’S WORK WITH
ELECTROMAGNETISM
JUMPSTARTS THE ERA OF
ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION.
1862
-Abbe Giovanna Caselli invents his
Pantelegraph and becomes first person to
transmit a still image over wires
1873
-Scientist Willoughby Smith
experiments with selenium and
light, revealing the possibility for
inventors to transform images
into electronic signals.
1876
- Boston civil servant George Carey was thinking about
complete television systems and in 1877 he put forward
drawings for what he called a selenium camera that
would allow people to see by electricity.
-Eugen Goldstein coins the term "cathode rays" to
describe the light emitted when an electric current was
forced through a vacuum tube.
-The Late 1870s
Scientists and engineers like Valeria Correa Vaz de
Paiva, Louis Figuier, and Constantin Senlecq were
suggesting alternative designs for telectroscopes.
1880
-Inventors Alexander Graham Bell and
Thomas Edison theorize about telephone
devices that transmit images as well as
sound.
-Bell's photophone used light to transmit
sound and he wanted to advance his device
for image sending.
-George Carey builds a rudimentary system
with light-sensitive cells.
1881
-Sheldon Bidwell experiments with his
telephotography that was similar to
Bell's photophone.
1884
-Paul Nipkow sends images over wires
using a rotating metal disk technology
calling it the electric telescope with 18
lines of resolution
The history of television can be traced back to the late
19th and early 20th centuries when inventors and
engineers began experimenting with transmitting and
receiving images and sounds over long distances.
Here is a brief overview of the major milestones in
the history of television:
Early Mechanical
Television:
THE CONCEPT OF TELEVISED IMAGES
DATES BACK TO THE 19TH CENTURY,
WITH THE INVENTION OF MECHANICAL
TELEVISION SYSTEMS BY INVENTORS
SUCH AS PAUL NIPKOW, BORIS ROSING,
AND OTHERS. THESE EARLY SYSTEMS
USED ROTATING DISKS AND OTHER
MECHANICAL COMPONENTS TO
CAPTURE AND TRANSMIT IMAGES.
Electronic Television
IN THE 1920S AND 1930S, SIGNIFICANT
ADVANCEMENTS WERE MADE IN ELECTRONIC
TELEVISION TECHNOLOGY. PHILO
FARNSWORTH IS CREDITED WITH CREATING
THE FIRST FULLY ELECTRONIC TELEVISION
SYSTEM, WHILE VLADIMIR ZWORYKIN
DEVELOPED THE ICONOSCOPE AND
KINESCOPE, KEY COMPONENTS OF MODERN
TELEVISION CAMERAS AND RECEIVERS.
Post-War Era and Broadcast
Television:
AFTER WORLD WAR II, TELEVISION SAW
RAPID COMMERCIALIZATION AND
GROWTH. BROADCAST TELEVISION
NETWORKS BEGAN TO EMERGE, AND
PROGRAMMING EXPANDED TO INCLUDE
NEWS, ENTERTAINMENT, AND
EDUCATIONAL CONTENT.
Color Television
The 1940s and 1960s saw the transition from
black-and-white to color television. This
technological advancement revolutionized the
viewing experience and became the standard
for television sets. .
Cable and Satellite
Television:
The latter half of the 20th century brought about
the rise of cable and satellite television, allowing
for a wider variety of channels and specialized
programming.
Digital and High-
Definition TV

The late 20th and early 21st centuries witnessed the


transition from analog to digital television, leading
to improved picture and sound quality. High-
definition television (HDTV) further enhanced the
viewing experience.
Future TV hologram:

may utilize advanced projection tech for


lifelike, three-dimensional images that seem
to float. By projecting light patterns onto a
specific point in space, a holographic
display illusion is created, with the
experience enhanced by advanced optics
and processing power, though the specifics
on technology development. .
“Overall, the history of television is
a story of remarkable technological
advancements, changing consumer
habits, and the continuous
evolution of the medium as a
primary source of entertainment,
information, and communication.”
