Exploring the pages of the Museum of Television's website made me gain much appreciation for all of the wonderful tech gadgets that have become a huge part of our daily lives. We are so caught up with the glitz and glamour of HD and 3D that we forget what it's like to have just plain 2D, or color, or a picture at all for that matter. It was fascinating seeing the photographs from the World's Fair of thirty or forty people standing around a box in the center of the room trying to catch a glimpse of an image coming from this new invention. To think that the first television didn't even have a screen yet attached an angled mirror to reflect the projection.
We all have our televisions to find comfort in on a rainy day but we have these certain individuals, who over seventy years ago, pioneered our past time. MZTV.com has the photos, the stories and the dates of the televisions transformation into main stream media.
