Pantelegraph was the first machine to transmit images electronically. This machine was used in the 1860s, decades before television was invented. It was invented by Italian physics professor Giovani Caselli. The machine could easily transport drawings and notes across distances, which happened because of electrochemistry.
Whereas the first working TV was created in the year 1924 by a Scottish engineer John Logie Baird. The interesting part was that it was made out of any material that Baird could find, like cardboard, a bicycle lamp and wax. The invention could transmit the outline of an image a few feet away. The public demonstration of the creation took place in 1925 after which he said, ”The image of the dummy’s head formed itself on the screen with what appeared to me an almost unbelievable clarity. I had got it! I could scarcely believe my eyes and felt myself shaking with excitement.” The invention was further showcased in department stores, making the Baird Television the first television to be sold commercially in the year 1929. After which around a thousand devices were created using reflected light to create a low-resolution image and the TV had a screen about the size of a postage lamp.
