Ойын-сауық

In 1921, radio ruled the airwaves and TV was a distant dream no one could turn into reality. Enter a scarily smart teenage sharecropper named Philo Farnsworth.

    it seems that inventions are not always created entirely by one person but are works in progress by different contibutors from different countries. Sometimes people have the idea of combining ideas together? It seems a bit suspect to me that a 14yr old farmer could have 'invented TV', and it seems more likeley that each country would laud their own contributors as THE inventor..... some inventors inventions are methodologies to mass produce a thing, or they invent machines that make machines.

    If you mean Louis Le Prince, 1888 was the year of the first known motion pictures, not videos. The earliest surviving off-air TV recordings are Baird's Phonovision discs of 1927-28, restored in the 1980s.
