  1. Love it.

    I’m sure, if you would have asked them, if they believed in the flood of Noah’s day, they would have said yes.

    “(Did we have television in 1946? I dunno, I wasn’t here yet.)”
    Well, I took a look.

    The first electronic television system was successfully demonstrated by Philo Taylor Farnsworth in San Francisco on September 7, 1927. This demonstration involved transmitting a simple, straight-line image using an electronic camera tube he developed. While earlier mechanical television systems existed, Farnsworth’s invention was the first all-electronic system, which eventually replaced mechanical systems due to its superior image quality, compact size, and lack of visual limitations.
    Here’s a more detailed timeline:

    1927: Philo Farnsworth transmits the first all-electronic television image.

    1928: Farnsworth demonstrates the system to the press.
    1936: RCA demonstrates a fully functional all-electronic television system, including a 343-line, 30-frame-per-second broadcast.
    1939: The last mechanical television broadcasts in the United States are replaced with electronic broadcasts.
    1950s: Television becomes the dominant form of mass communication, surpassing radio as the primary broadcast medium.
    1953: Color television was commercially available for the first time.
