How did the television that we use today develop into a functional technology? What did Victorians expect it to become? How did the 'vision' of television change once viewers could actually see pictures on a screen? We will journey through the history of 'television': from the first indications of live communications in technology and culture in the late nineteenth century, to the development of electronic televisual systems in the early twentieth century. Along the way, we will investigate the philosophy, folklore, engineering practices, and satires that went into making television a useful medium. 410 0$aTelevisual culture. 606 $aTelevision broadcasting$xHistory 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting$xHistory. 676 $a301.16 700 $aRoberts$b Ivy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$00 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910491848903321 996 $aVisions of Electric Media$92252336 997 $aUNINA
