about a new idea which an author described as,"...pictures that fly through the air..." Young Philo became interested and decided to look into it.

to what I will talk about specifically in this position paper, violence on the famous family fun center, the television. To start off, John Logie Baird invented the mechanical television in 1926. The soul purpose of the mechanical television was to be able to see images at home from current events from around the world right in your very own home.

Russia was said to have experimented in transmitting images for 16 years before Farnsworth first succeeded. Including a mechanical television system which scanned images using a rotating disk with holes set in a spiral pattern, was demonstrated by John Logie Baird in England and Charles Francis Jenkins in the United States during the 1920s. But Farnsworth’s approach scanned images with a beam of electrons, was the direct origin of modern television. The first image he transmitted on it was a plain line
