Flags were also flown there to warn sailors of bad weather. It39。s fitting, then, the Italian Gulielmo Marconi should have chosen this site to receive the world39。s first radio signal— in Morse code— from England on December 12,1901. Marconi, bining earlier ideas with his own, led us to a new munications age. For the next 50 years, until the appearance of television, radio ruled the air waves. Today, it39。s the TV that rules. No single person can say to have invented television. In 1884, the German Paul Nipkow invented a device that sent pictures mechanically, and in 1906, Boris Rosing, a Russian, used a ray and a disc to create the world39。s first TV system.

In 1924, a Scot entered the scene— John Logic Baird. He first succeeded in sending a moving picture and a year later got the first actual TV picture. In 1926,Baird showed TV in a London laboratory. Two years later in New York, Felix the Cat became the first TV star. TV excited everyone39。s imagination, but hardly anyone had a set, with just two thousand in use worldwide in the mid1930s.
