Exercise 10: Reading
The basis for modern telecommunications was created in the 19th century. The telecommunication, which was invented in 1837, meant that messages could be sent round the world. Then in 1876 the telephone followed. 1 [ ] It was only with the invention of the radio in 1901 that people were capable of sending messages through the air over long distances. The idea of sending images along with sound seemed to be impossible. Although cinema had been invented in 1895, there seemed no way to get moving pictures to fly through the air. John Logie Baird in Britain worked on mechanical systems. This used spinning discs inside the television which allowed light through small holes. 2 [ ] The story of electronic television goes back to 1922.

Зарегистрироваться и Начать продвижение American student Philo Farnsworth from Rigby, Idaho read an article in a magazine that described mechanical television. He was fascinated by electricity and built electrical machines for his parents’ farm. 3 [ ] Gradually, an idea that magnets could be used to control to make a picture formed in his mind. Studying at Brigham Young University Farnsworth continued to develop his ideas about electronic television. All the time he was looking out for the chance to raise money to develop his world-changing invention. 4 [ ] One day Farnsworth found people who agreed to provide some of the money. He finally registered the patents for his idea in 1927. He managed to see the first images on his system. It was still many years before television became the force it is today, but it was on its way. Shortly after the end of the World War II, TV pictures were being broadcast into homes across America and, soon across Europe and the rest of the world. 5 [ ] Billions of people every day stay up to date with the news, follow sports competitions or laugh at a comedy show.
