Improving Quality and Sending
Paul Nipkow sends images over wires using a metal disk technology calling it the electric telescope with 18 lines of resolution. -
A Step Forward
A little after the 1900's, ideas and discussions changed over to acutal physical development of television systems. Televions replaced most mechanical systems.

Television Success
Bell Telephone and the U.S. Department of Commerce perform the first long distance use of televisions that took place between Washington D.C. and New York City. -
Television Market Expanding
Vladimir Zworkin demonstrates the first practical electronic system for both the transmission and reception of images using his new kinescope tube. John Baird opens the first TV studio, but the image quality was really bad/poor.

Wireless Remotes Invented
Eugene Polley created the "Flash-matic" the first wireless TV remote. The Flash-matic operated by means of four photocells, one in each corner of the TV screen. The person used a directional flashlight to activate the four control functions, which turned the picture and sound on and off, and turned the channel tuner dial clockwise and counter-clockwise.
