Birth of Television

Birth of Television explores the captivating history of television, from its technological origins to its profound cultural impact. The book illustrates how television's evolution was not solely a result of technological advancement, but also a product of strategic decisions by media moguls and the social changes it spurred.

Early television pioneers, like Philo Farnsworth, faced numerous struggles in bringing electronic image transmission to life. The book examines the crucial inventions, strategic corporate decisions, and societal impacts that shaped television's rise. It emphasizes the human element behind the technology, highlighting the stories of inventors, entrepreneurs, and programmers.

The narrative unfolds chronologically, beginning with early experiments and culminating in television's widespread adoption, while also exploring the rivalry between mechanical and electronic television. It acknowledges the global spread of television and its adaptation across different cultural contexts.

What makes Birth of Television unique is its narrative non-fiction approach, using vivid storytelling to engage readers. By drawing upon primary sources and media studies, the book provides a comprehensive account of television's development. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, offering a balanced perspective on the key events and figures who shaped the media landscape and the television industry.
