At the origins of television
At least half a century has passed since the Soviet people for the most part "mastered" regular TV shows. Today, our life without a TV is simply unthinkable. The idea of transmitting images (or, as they sometimes say, "visual information") over a distance has long excited the minds of scientists, engineers, and even writers. The poet V. Bryusov, for example, has the lines:"...talking to our friends, we activated our home telekinema and were happy to see the faces of those we were talking to, or sometimes we admired the ballet in the same device " (Bryusov V.

The twentieth century. Electric life. St. Petersburg, 1894. The image of the newspaper is on page 57). The adjective telegazetny relatively ... Read more
