It wasn't so long ago that television broadcasting was experiencing a literal boom. Today, its digitization is already a matter of course, more and more people prefer streaming content to watching traditional TV channels. In today's article, we will recall the difficult beginnings of the first concept of television broadcasting.

The Concept of Television Broadcasting (1908)

Scottish engineer Alan Archibald Campbell-Swinton published a letter in the journal Nature on June 18, 1908, in which he describes the basics of making and receiving television images. The Edinburgh native presented his concept three years later to the Roentgen Company in London, but several decades passed before the commercial realization of television broadcasting took place. Campbell-Swinton's idea was put into practice by inventors Kalman Tihanyi, Philo T. Farnsworth, John Logie Baird, Vladimir Zworykin, and Allen DuMont.
