Google so thankfully informed me this morning that it’s the 90th anniversary of the first demonstration of television. So, I’m celebrating by posting some of my mini tv images here. Thanks for checking them out and thus celebrating with me. Are you thankful for the invention of television?
Sorry – I’m not as high minded as others!! I love TV!!!
haha I don’t blame you at all. While I don’t have cable, I do love my netflix.
We have not had television for over 7 years now. Don’t miss it at all!
I watch loads of Netflix, so while I didn’t have a TV for quite some time, and now we have a TV, but no cable, I still probably can’t say I’m without considering the number of shows I watch online. Good for you not having one!
We do watch movies on Netflix. But that has become less and less lately.
A fun post to celebrate television
Thanks!
TV has always been part of my life — but not for the obvious reasons. My great-great uncle worked with John Logie Baird in his TV experiments. Later my father worked for the BBC and then Independent television here in the UK. Life behind the camera became more interesting than life in front, as it were, and to be honest…. that’s how I still feel. ;)
That’s awesome. Thank you for sharing this. What wonderful stories they must have shared!
I just got my first flat screen TV this month. The older TVs that I have been using (with digital converters) are still good and I am thankful for the invention of TV.
it was the only way to see the news from 1945 for the next 50 odd years. as a globe trotting journalist I could not have survived without it.
tv was\is, together with radio, the connection in all our lives between the industrial and computer age revolutions.
It’s such an interesting thing, and a very important invention. Yes, I mostly see it as entertainment now, but it does serve an important purpose with the spread of information.
