Many people believe there is some dispute as to who invented televisions but it has been confirmed that the invention of television, in its current form, was actually created by Philo Farnsworth on September 9th, 1934. It is thought that the idea for TV's date back to ancient China and may have been at least partially developed in 500 BC with a mixture of both mechanical and natural forms making it a little complicated which lead to many years without any true progress being made in the use of this technology.Philip John Taylor Farnsworth was an inventor from Utah who rose out of poverty at a young age by selling newspapers on doorsteps while simultaneously developing his own designs for electric ovens and later on becoming involved with radio broadcasting. He is also said to have developed a working television set during the early 1920s but it went into full production in 1927Farnsworth was interested in radio broadcasts and was able to purchase a radio-transmitter that used a spark gap. Proceeding on to the development of miniature tubes, he then began work on tuning tubes that would be able to receive and emit electrons efficiently. Farnsworth demonstrated his work in San Francisco on July 5th, 1927 by broadcasting a series of images from his 'station'. He then demonstrated transmission of moving pictures in San Francisco on August 6th 1927. His experiments went further and produced several moving image transmissions from his laboratory via 3 antennas, one for each required color component (red, blue and green). This demonstration was complete with sound and occurred in Oakland on September 7th 1927.

In the autumn of 1927 he began the advancement of his television set, which combined a mechanical scanning disk with electronic amplification. In 1928, Farnsworth discovered that by using a cathode ray tube instead of the disk, he could achieve much finer detail and a wider range of vision. He called this Electronic Television System as it had been developed through electronic methods. The Federal Telegraph Company bought all rights to his patents and development information in 1929, but in 1931 made several unsuccessful attempts to sell the system to television broadcasters before finally giving up.In 1934, after nearly two years of steady development, Farnsworth's television system was completed and was demonstrated to a select audience in Utah. However, due to his lack of funds he had to let the patent go to another person and was unable to commercialize the system. Farnsworth continued his work with TV in secret until January 7th, 1936 when he died at the age of only 32.The first public demonstration of television occurred on April 30th 1939 as part of a weekly radio show called 'Our Return' broadcast by NBC in New York City. The radio program consisted of video transmissions from Robert Millikan Junior demonstrating the latest developments in television technology. The show was watched by over 1,000 people in a municipal building and then again several days later at the New York City's World Fair after being televised to a receiver in a vacant lot miles away.

After many years of development and inventing, Farnsworth's system became reality and essentially changed the world forever. Although this was not the very first time that video transmission was achieved, it was still an important milestone leading up to its commercialization. Many companies now compete for market share in televisions and users are able to obtain different types of high definition
