TELEVISION - TIME LINE

Television, an electronic system of receiving images and instantaneous sound,

has been evolving drastically over time. This evolution was only possible with the
discovery of the selenium of Jons Jacob Berzelius. But only 56 years later
Willoughby Smith discovered the property of transforming light energy into
electrical energy, allowing the transmission of images through the electric current.
