Tell A Vision. 📺 Yep, It’s TV time!
Let’s take a stroll together down TV memory lane. Remember, when…
The word television came from combining those words, tell a vision.
The google stuff is good to know if you are calling with friends:
Where did the word television come from?
The word television comes from the Greek prefix “tele” and the Latin word vision or “seeing from a distance.” The TV camera converts images into electrical impulses, which are sent along with cables, or by radio waves, or satellite to a television receiver where they are changed back into a picture.
I did not know that. It’s pretty cool, Just stored in my brain's hard drive.
The first TV show aired in 1928 and was called The Queen’s Messenger — Below is a 19-second clip.
The first television sets in 1927 were huge, with tiny screens and had scrolls on the sides of them. They were big and box-like, and the size of a refrigerator.
