Starting in 1900, many inventors attempted to build mechanical television systems based on Paul Nipkow's rotating discs. Inventors also attempted to build electronic television systems based on the cathode ray tube, developed independently in 1907 by English inventor Campbell Swinton and Russian scientist Boris Rosen, televisions in the 1910s were unique. Most of them have ridiculous shapes. The video quality wasn't good, people were supposed to wear makeup to be recognizable. This problem also occurred in the 1920s. In 1928, a Scottish inventor, John Roger Baird, patented the idea of using arrays of transparent rods to transmit images for television. Color television was first demonstrated publicly by him in his laboratory in London. In the 1930s, many entertainment companies produced some of the best radio and TV programs, making the decade the golden age of both TV, cinema, and radio. In the 1940s, broadcast TV was in its infancy, and commercially available sets had started gaining popularity. In 1950, about 9% of American households had a television set. TV was gaining much popularity with the development of more TV shows, and the first TV remote was introduced to consumers. During the 1960s, the rise of the Saturday morning cartoons became popular during this time, as well with shows that promote traditional values and cultural trends. TV cemented its grip on American attention spans, and the TV industry added channels and improved the quality of its color pictures. With the rise of color television, price drops on black and white TVs meant households could afford more than one TV set in the 1970s. Also in 1976, the Sinclair Microvision was released, offering portable TV to consumers for the first time. In the 1980s and 1990s, cable and satellite TV emerged as alternatives to traditional over-the-air broadcasting. These new forms of TV allowed a wider range of programming options, including specialized channels for sports news and entertainment. During the 2000s, flat-screen TVs were emerging in the market due to their compact size and superior picture. The new technology during that time also helped to produce televisions at a rapid rate, allowing the evolution of increasing screen sizes and better viewing experience for all. The first 3D TV was introduced in 2010, encouraged by popular 3D blockbusters of the time, like James Cameron's Avatar. Streaming services and their mobile versions have changed the way people interact with screens in 2010. Now in the 2020s, online TV using internet connectivity and computer skills are now effectively available on TVs thanks to the technology like Apple TV and Google TV. This means that online access to material to any movies and TV shows for streaming media to a TV are easy and readily available.
