1. Science:
A. Who invinted the Television?
_ Scottish engineer John Logie Baird is considered as the inventor of

television. He demonstrated the world's first mechanical television system on
26 January 1926. However, another scientist, Philo Taylor Farnsworth is
credited with the invention of the first electronic television system. He was
able to successfully transmit a television signal on 7 September 1927 with the
scanning tube that he invented.
However, the credit of the original creation is traceable to Philo Farnsworth.

Philo Farnsworth lived as a young boy in a house without electricity until the
age of 14.
He went about the process of developing television. However, the Second

World War disrupted the process of inventing a TV. All efforts to build the TV
came to a halt until the end of the Second World War.
B. Why do the scientist invented the Television?
_ Many would say it is because it was the next thing to do after the massive
success of the radio in the early 1900s. However, the invention of the
television was primarily for basically entertainment.
2. Technology:
A. State the history of television from the old model up to the latest or modern
model of television.
_ Between the 1950s and 2000s, television turned from a niche technology
into a critical form of communication found in living rooms across the nation.
A vast number of changes and improvements took place in the second half of
the 20th century to make the television into what it is today. Here’s a timeline:
 1949: In January, the number of TV stations had grown to 98 in 58

market areas.
 1949: The FCC adopted the Fairness Doctrine, which made
broadcasters responsible for seeking out and presenting all sides of
an issue when covering controversy. This act was a supplement to
the Communications Act of 1934, which required broadcasters to
give equal airtime to candidates running in elections.
 1951: I Love Lucy, sponsored by Philip Morris, was born. The half-
hour sitcom ranked as the number one program in the nation for
four of its first six full seasons.
 1951: On June 21, CBS broadcasted the first color program. As
mentioned above, CBS’s color system only worked with a small
number of TVs across America. Only 12 customers across America
could see the first color TV broadcast. 12 million other TVs were
blank for this program.
 1952: Bob Hope takes his comedy from radio to TV as The Bob Hope
Show debuts in October, 1952.
 1952: By the end of 1952, TVs could be found in 20 million households
across America, a rise of 33% from the previous year. U.S.
advertisers spent a total of $288 million on television advertising
time, an increase of 38.8% from 1951.
 1953: RCA releases its color broadcasting system, which worked on
12 million TVs instead of 12.
 1954: NBC launches The Tonight Show with comedian Steve Allen.
 1955: Gunsmoke, the classic western TV show, began its 20 year run
on CBS.
 1958: 525 cable TV systems across America serve 450,000
subscribers. In response, CBS takes out a two page advertisement in
TV Guide stating that “Free television as we know it cannot survive
alongside pay television.”
 1960: Four debates between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon
were broadcast throughout the year across the country, forever
changing the way presidents would campaign.
 1963: For the first time in history, television surpasses newspapers as
an information source. In a poll this year, 36% of Americans found
TV to be a more reliable source than print, which was favored by
24%.
 1964: The FCC regulates cable for the first time. The FCC required
operators to black out programming that comes in from distant
markets and duplicates a local station’s own programming (if the
local station demanded it).
 1964: 73 million viewers watch The Beatles appear on the Ed Sullivan
Show.
 1965: NBC calls itself The Full Color Network and broadcasts 96% of
its programming in color.
 1969: Astronaut Neil Armstrong walks on the moon for the first time
as millions of American viewers watch live on network TV.
 1970: The FCC implements the Financial Interest Syndication Rules
that prohibit the three major networks from owning and controlling
the rebroadcast of private shows. This meant 30 minutes of
programming each night were given back to local stations in the top
50 markets, encouraging the production of local programming.
 1971: Advertisements transition from 60 seconds in average length to
30 seconds.
 1979: Some people believe it’s the “beginning of the end for TV” as a
poll indicated that 44% of Americans were unhappy with current
programming and 49% were watching TV less than what they did a
few years earlier.
 1979: ESPN, a network totally devoted to sports, debuts on cable.
ESPN would go on to become the largest and most successful basic
cable channel.
 1980: Ted Turner launches Cable News Network (CNN), a channel
devoted to showcasing news 24 hours a day.
 1980: Music Television (MTV) makes its debut in August of 1980.
 1986: After years of rising rates, ABC, CBS, and NBC have trouble
selling commercial time for sports programs for the first time.
Commercial rates for the 1986 NFL season dropped 15% from the
1985 season.
 1989: Pay Per View begins to leave its mark on the television
landscape, reaching about 20% of all wired households.
 1992: Infomercials explode with growth. This year, the National
Infomercial Marketing Association estimates infomercials generate
sales of $750 million, double that of 1988.
 1993: At the start of 1993, 98% of American households owned at
least one TV, with 64% owning two or more sets.
 1996: Digital satellite dishes 18 inches in diameter hit the market,
becoming the bestselling electronic item in history next to the VCR.
 2000: The Digital Video Disc (DVD) is introduced.
 2004: DVDs outsell VHS tapes for the first time.
 2005: Flat screen TVs and HDTVs are introduced for the first time.
 2006: Flat screen TVs and HDTVs become affordable for the first
time.
 2006: Sony releases its Blu-ray disc format, capable of holding up to
27GB despite being the same size as a DVD.
 2010: 3D televisions start hitting the market, spurred by popular 3D
blockbusters like Avatar.

them?
House How important the Television for you?

No.
1 Using computers and smartphones to access the internet is still difficult f
or a sizeable portion of the global population.
On the other hand, the television is a very user-friendly gadget.
Everyone can easily operate a basic television set because we have been
using them for such a long time.
2 The cost of a basic television set is still significantly lower than that of a
computer or smartphone. Television continues to be much more popular
than other forms of entertainment because of this, in addition to the fact
that it can be operated by anyone in modern society.
3 The elderly and those with disabilities who would otherwise have little
choice but to read are greatly benefited by it. This is meant to emphasize
that having a variety of entertainment options is a good idea rather than
to diminish the value of reading. Working parents benefit the most
because they can keep their kids entertained with kid-friendly shows
while they finish up the chores so they can spend quality time with them.
On their television, one can choose to watch movies, daily soaps, music
videos, cartoons, and even documentaries.
4 It is now possible to learn a lot from television thanks to channels like
Discovery, History, National Geographic, Animal Planet, and others.
You can watch documentaries and educational programming on a range
of interesting subjects. There is something on television to pique your
interest, whether you enjoy learning about ancient cultures or ancient
alien civilizations on Earth and elsewhere.
5 Another excellent way to learn about what is happening around the
world is through television. When it was first made available in real time
to homes all over the world, it was the earliest method of learning about
current events in any part of the world. It continues to be the only source
of real-time information about events taking place worldwide, including
wars starting up or award ceremonies happening.
II. Definition of term of Picture Qualities.

1. BRIGHTNESS
_ is an attribute of visual perception in which a source appears to be radiating or
reflecting light.[1] In other words, brightness is the perception elicited by
the luminance of a visual target. The perception is not linear to luminance, and
relies on the context of the viewing environment.
2. CONTRAST
_is the difference in luminance or color that makes an object distinguishable from
other objects within the same field of view.
3. DETAIL
_ This refers to the sharpness of the image. When detail is high, the edges and
lines that make up the image are crisp and precise; with low detail, these lines
and edges are less distinct and appear somewhat blurred or “out of focus”.
4. COLOR LEVEL
_ Colour depth is measured in bits and describes the number of bits that are used
to display the colour of each pixel. Bits work in binary, so for each extra bit, the
number of supported colours is doubled.
5. Hue or Tint
_ Hue refers to the origin of the colors we can see. Primary and Secondary colors
(Yellow, Orange, Red, Violet, Blue, and Green) are considered hues; however,
tertiary colors (mixed colors where neither color is dominant) would also be
considered hues. Tint refers to any hue or mixture of pure colors to which white is
added.
6. Aspect Ratio
_ The aspect ratio of an image is the ratio of its width to its height, and is
expressed with two numbers separated by a colon, such as 16:9, sixteen-to-nine.
For the x:y aspect ratio, the image is x units wide and y units high. Common
aspect ratios are 1.85:1 and 2.39:1 in cinematography, 4:3
and 16:9 in television photography, and 3:2 in still photography.
