Answer 3

The origins of what would become today's television system can be traced back to the discovery of the photoconductivity of the element selenium by Willoughby Smith in 1873, the invention of a scanning disk by Paul Gottlieb Nipkow in 1884, and Philo Farnsworth's Image dissector in 1927.

Answer 4

This website is really informative: http://www.ideafinder.com/history/invent... .  It says that the television was invented by Philo T. Farnsworth in 1927.

This website looks helpful too.  It makes me think that there might not be an exact inventor or date of the invention of the television.

Answer 5

the first successful experiments in the transmission and reception of images in motion were carried out by the British inventor John Logie Baird (1888-1946) early in 1926.

before John Logie Beard's success, in 1884, Paul Gottleib Nipkow, a German engineer, patented and experimented on an optical/mechanical device known as the 'Nipkow disc'. his experiments did not succeed in any results. John Logie Beard used optical/mechanical devices similar to Nipkow,s, in conjuction with electronic amplifiers.
