TELEVISION IN TIME

By: Mikelle Patillo & Kayla Tran

TELEVISION (T.V)

The Television is a system or process of

producing on a distant screen a series of

transient visible images, usually with an

accompanying sound signal. Electrical

signals, converted from optical images by a

camera tube, are transmitted by UHF or VHF

radio waves or by cable and reconverted into

optical images by means of a television tube

inside a television set.

Philo Farnsworth invented the television system. Farnsworth was only 22 when he invented the tv.

The television he created was called a scanning disk. The scanning disk had a light-detecting device, usually a photoelectric cell, behind it. In the reproducer (the display), a modulated light source, usually used a neon tube, replacing the light detector. As each hole flew by, it produced a scan line.

“Jenkins JD-30”. The JD-30 is a broadcast/shortwave receiver designed to

connect to a scanning disk set with either a flat plate neon or a crater lamp. It was made in 1932, and was sold with the Jenkins R-400 lens disk scanner. Jenkins took the scanning

disk and made it a little more complex, to eventually get us the televisions we have

today.

In 1941, General Electric Facilities manufactured the “Musaphonic Model 90”. This model consisted of 12" console, wood (mahogany), 5 channels, and TV-radio. GE manufactured only 75 units, but none were sold.

for television. TV in the 50’s had a few

programs running such as the classic “I Love

Lucy”, and ”Godfrey’s Talent Scout”.

All of the shows were in Black and White.

The 1980’s in Television was fantastic! The

TV set itself was better,

companies got rid of the huge

stand that came with the TV. The

quality of picture was

marvelous, and you could hook up your VCR, or game system so you could watch

your favorite movie or play your favorite

game.

Whoa! In 1990 they did it big, real big! The big screen came out and then all the shows you used to watch in regular size multiplied by 50! The big screen had a box in the back and full speakers at the bottom, so you couldn’t miss a beat.

established and comm

on.

Almost everyone had a

television in their home.

color and picture quality,

an abundant amount of TV

programs, and m

any TV

TV. Instead of interesting cartoons and shows TV was being used to get out important information globally.

2011 in television is the best! The TV’s are flat, huge and can hang from your wall. There's this thing called surround sound, you have 3-D picture quality, and high definition. You have an amazing TV that doesn’t take up so much space and you can watch anything from anywhere in the world!

Everyone has at least 3 TV's in their home.

CONCLUSION

TV evolved from a simple scanning disk to something used worldwide. There are many great things about TV like getting important information to many people at once. There are also cons to TV such as, bad influences, the wrong image being displayed for anybody to see, and the wrong message being sent out and taken as something acceptable.
