The early history of television is absolutely fascinating. If we want to observe how technology evolves from the lab and workbench to popular culture, this is the topic.
If you ask someone from Britain "who invented television?" the answer would be John Logie Baird. If you ask an American. they will say Philo T Farnsworth. Both answers are correct, although Farnsworth invented the first electronic system. However Baird did meet Farnsworth, and he (Baird) went on to produce the world's first electronic colour (or color if you are American) system, in 1943, using the Telechrome tube for display.
When you have a name like Philo Farnsworth, everything you do is bound to be good! He could have been one of the greatest Poets or a General to huge armies, or a Lover extraordinary, but he chose to bring us TV! I wonder, when he died, did he go to Heaven, or Hell? Maybe just onto the airways, forever.
Colorizing completely ruins this video and confuses the historical context. The television at that time was monochrome and showing color treated images on the screens is ridiculous.
Plus, the 4:3 "Academy" format was stretched, at least in my RUclips-viewer, the iOS app. Weird to see "16:9 WS" images on a television, in the context of the very beginning of television broadcasts.

Originally seen as a segment of "Popular Science" {narrated by Gayne Whitman}.

The inventor of television was Vladimir I. Zworykin. He was roughly contemporaneous with Farnsworth.
It’s a fad that’ll never catch on.
"Good news, everyone!" 😄
Say his name.
1939, not 1936
Was he a Marrom? The religion Of Utah ?
Did you mean “Mormon”? If so, Worst Misspelling Ever..
