The Invention That Changed The World

Sarnoff = Musk.

WILL I AM? Really?

Great invention for Information and entertainment.

Now it's been used for propaganda for political and economic development

Nebraska ....

It was professor Hubert J. Farnsworth who invented the television!!! 🤣🤣

Whilst the Americans were still tinkering around and fought legal battles the 1936 Berlin Olympics were broadcast on television all across Germany.
Who really did invent television I wonder.

The control of information allowed to be sent over this new medium is paramount.

We're going to ignore the invention of mechanical television by John Logie Baird in 1926 then?

Sarnoff was a Jew.

This is intersting ! 😊

That's what I call a true American success story. Someone invents something great and the wealthy achieve even more success as a result.

As said, "TV is most important invention of the 20th century".
NOT TRUE
What about :
1) transistor
2) computer
3) MANY OTHERS

The Apollo 11 moon landing was in 1969, not 1959 as stated. Farnsworth was 64 when he passed away less than two years later. The actress playing his wife reminds me of my Aunt Marie who had reddish hair and big green eyes.

I haven't watched this video yet but our first TV was a Stromberg Carlson mahogany console with a 12" screen. My parents paid about $400 in 1949 when I was 5 years old. Before having our own TV we would walk through the woods in the evening to watch our neighbor's Motorola table model. This was when we lived in the MD suburbs of DC. Now I have an LG 50" plasma that we purchased in 2009. My wife passed away in 2021 and I. never watch TV anymore. We would enjoy programs together but I can't enjoy them without her.

Wow the inventor of the TV was also the first contestant on Shark Tank!😂

In the UK, Logie Baird had a television network operating in London before the second world war. People had television sets in their houses long, before America had even heard of it.

'and TV's been sucking the life & intelligence out of us ever since.

Ulises Armand Sanabria presented his first mechanical television at the age of 19 in at the radio expo in Chicago in 1925. He was well ahead of Farnsworth. Look it up. I bought the Oak Park Illinois house that he grew up in in 1998, and raised my children there. In the attic there were many very old intricate electrical wire experiments wired into the rafters, on tacks and nails. I assume these were remnants of the boy’s experiments. I had no idea of the history of the house’s occupants until I removed the back panel from the bottom cabinets in the pantry/ice delivery room, to repair old rat damage in the back corner. Behind the cabinet were all kinds of things which had fallen out of the drawers over the years: a perfect 1934 Oak Park license plate, rectangular with an acorn shape on top, and painted green, old coal delivery signs to hang on a hook on the porch when you wanted a delivery, lists and recipes, but most interesting was a 1923 Christmas dinner invitation to Mrs. John Sanabria, from her brother in law who commanded a military base in Michigan. The invite was a gold embossed folding item, with particulars about the dinner with the menu, which included cigarettes with desert. Inside the Invitation was a letter from Mrs. Sanabria’s brother in law sprinkled with French phrases probably picked up in WWI France. The front of the envelope had a shopping list, written with pencil, that included prices for bread, milk, soap, etc. the list covered part of Mrs. John Sanabria’s name so that I could never read it correctly. After holding onto it for several years, and trying to find any history of the woman named on the envelope, I casually asked my sharp eyed wife if she could make out a few letters. Could and did in one glance. From there the discovery of my home’s illustrious occupants was easy, and the rest is history.

The problem is our legal system may be bought. It should be solely publicly funded so billionaire and farmboys have equal representation.

CHANGED THE WORLD? OR RUINED THE WORLD!!!

"I don't get ulcers. I give them." - David Sarnoff

Why is it not mentioned about John logie baired who first send a moving picture from London to new York in 1928 or the fenchman and the Russian,s who also working on tv,,,Its just like tommas eddieson the so called inventer of the lightbulb,, look at the history, a man called Joseph swan from Newcastle on tyne had the first working one,, look it up,,

Even before a Hungarian built a TV set, photo I have seen, though it was what we call closed circuit TV.
Built on a table , full with batteries underneath. One end of the table a camera, on the other end was a picture tube, worked well !

As the many embrace it there love will grow cold.

The invention that deceived, mislead, misinformed and misdirected the soul of men. To believe in UNBELIEF.

It wasn't the first. Germany broadcast via television first in 1935. It was produced under the name of Telefunken, a tradename still in use today.

Greed!

Personally, I wish to hell that television had never been invented. Look at the damage that its caused! A bunch of mindless dribble pots. People sitting in front of a one eyed monster, a thin strand of saliva pooling on the front of their shirt. While this cyclops slowly drains there minds of cohesive thought. People stuffing handfuls of potato chips in their pie hole as their muscles waste away into fat. Thank God my parents limited the time my sister and were allowed to watch television. Unless it was something like the moon landing or other world altering events!!

Sarnoff was a snake. He had "BIG" money backing him and also had a big,greedy ego.

Excellent Documentary!!!!

Goodbye cathode ray technology...............or is it?? Had an X ray done it's still got a cathode ray tube to this day', the plate was dgital behind me but the X-rays were still generated by a tube Who a ever heard of a solid state X-ray emiter? LOL

This is so wrong. John Logie Baird invented television geez, these americans always stealing other peoples ideas and claiming them as their own.

What about cameras? There's is no television without cameras!!!

Clearly the maker of this video never heard of the telegraph....

More American BS
Baid invented it 10 years before, American would believe anything

The invention of the world's most effective propaganda/indoctrination machine.
Brilliant!

Nice production but it completely ignores the fact that tv was already on the air in Germany and the U.K. The BBC launched the worlds first full television service in 1936.

His dumbass should have never called the newspapers

For a minute their I was expecting for you were going to tell us all about René Barthélemy (a French inventor) who invented the television like all French people sadly believe is true, when it was in fact John Logie Baird who really invented it.

Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, etc, mandam um abraço a todos que acreditam que não haveria progresso sem os bilionários. Esse documentário é a prova de que não existe nenhum bilionário que não seja um ladrão trapaceiro.

So, the year before John Logie Baird demonstrated an actual working television in London, Farnsworth had an idea. Seems a little like rewriting history, but sure, why not, it's not exactly the first time Americans have done that.

As a reminder to the makers of this documentary - John Logi Baird produced the first television picture in January 1926.

Farmsworth did invent the first electronic television, but Baird should have been mentioned as producing the first actual television picture.

The World was introduced to television in 1926

So this film is factually inaccurate and dishonest.

Edwin Armstrong, and the patent for the superheterodyne. Patents by themselves apparently aren't where the money is.

This happens continually. Bullies, money and brute force trump all. A truly sad story.

He invented television, and his consolation prize was a living hell. I know I couldn't have done that. The documentary tries to make it sound like he won in the end. What does it matter if some people know about it long after he died? Nothing will ever be done to prevent this abuse from happening again. Corporations will always win because they have all the power. I don't even think I was aware of it until flat screens had taken over. RCA doesn't exist except maybe as some generic brand under General Electric.
