Have you ever wondered how television started? Grab your remote
control because we are diving into the incredible history of the
screen! Believe it or not, the very first face ever shown on a TV
wasn't a famous actor or a cartoon character—it was a creepy
ventriloquist dummy named Stooky Bill! Back in 1925, the lights
needed to record a picture were so blazing hot that a real person
couldn't even sit in front of the camera! Join Mira and Finn as
they explore how a twenty-one-year-old farm boy who grew up without
electricity managed to invent the very first electronic television.
Then, discover the massive "Color TV War" of the 1950s between two
huge tech companies racing to bring bright, beautiful colors into
people's living rooms! You'll also learn the amazing history of the
Disney Channel, find out why TV dinners were actually invented to
sell leftover Thanksgiving turkey, and see how massive,
hundred-pound wooden TV boxes eventually shrank into the super-fast
smartphones we carry in our pockets today. Press play and let's
time travel through the magic of television!
