TELEVISION-In the year of 1927, at age twenty, an inventor named Philo Farnsworth showed the first sign of television. He sent an electronic image in his own lab in San Francisco, California. It was a simple black line being rotated to experiment whether or not television could record and reproduce movement, but, nevertheless, it was a great discovery. The first television did not have any sound. Farnsworth invented many other things, including the idea of using radio waves to detect things, which later on became the radar.
