The invention of television was a dynamic process that represented the convergence of many technological innovations and inventors. The medium has been both affected by, and affected, history. The History Guy remembers the forgotten history of the small screen.In case Philo Farnsworth sounds familiar, he's the namesake and ancestor of Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth from Futurama, whose catch phrase "Good news, everyone" I use here occasionally, but not today. There's little good news to celebrate.
Television has continued to evolve since The History Guy uploaded this video in 2019, in particular the rise of new streaming services like Disney+, Apple TV+, and Peacock during and after the pandemic and continued cord-cutting. That deserves another video, but I have to go to work. In the meantime, stay tuned for another evergreen post worth sharing next month tomorrow.
