New question - who invented the television?

Didn't Ray Cathode invent the tube:lol: That was bad, I know.
How about Philo Farnsworth.

Nice one :lol:

I know questions like that can be a bit ambiguous, with people working on eacj others developments.

But the TV is normally attributed to one person.

Telephone is Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell was the official inventor as of about two months ago. But the patent office released that there was an inventor, about 10 years before bell, who invented the phone.

Can you name that person?
