Television has come a long way since John Logie Baird first demonstrated a 30 line system in 1926 and a steady stream of innovations has enhanced our viewing pleasure over those short few years since the infancy of this world-changing technology.
The first commercial was broadcast in 1930, and by 1946 the first color television system was demonstrated. In 1948 cable, rather than broadcast signals came to Pennsylvanian rural areas, a development which has spread far and wide ever since. 1956 saw the advent of both the remote control and video recording technology and by 1967 most broadcasts were in color. In 1969 six hundred million people around the world watched the lunar landings on television. The 1980s saw the introduction of Dolby stereo and the introduction of video recording standards which obtained widespread acceptance resulting in a home entertainment revolution.
Throughout the 1990s and beyond development of technology has continued apace with digital technology being at the forefront of new developments. DVD is now a widely adoted standard creating the possibility of cinema style movie enjoyment in the comfort of your own home. The home cinema and entertainment idea is now here to stay and we can watch movies and television in great style and comfort.
