T.V.

Television is often over looked in this day of age of modern technology. Since I was young all I have known is color television, but honestly I never cared that I am lucky to be apart of this age. Still people may believe that the television is to much of a distraction, and life has gone down because the television has take over our minds because all we want to do is watch T.V.. Although the creation of the television was to me just as ground breaking as the telephone. Back in the late 1800's the concept of electricallypowered transmission of television images in motion was scetched as a telephonescope. This lead to a man named Paul Nipkow who patened the first electromechanical television system which brought about the scanning disk. Still this plan would not work until the amplifire tube technology that was open during 1907. Later the cathode ray tube captured images, but this would not capture moving images. But from that more inventors would come to create better image resolutions that would make the picture sharper. Thus a small thought from the past lead the world to create stunning pictures.
