Television relates to the inventor John Logie Baird, a Scotsman who successfully demonstrated the first mechanical picture scanning by using amplifiers at both the transmission and reception points.

The image could be sent by either ordinary telephone lines or radio waves, which led to the first trans-Atlantic transmission of television from London to New York in February, 1928.

The term combines the Greek word 'Tele,' which means 'far,' with the word vision - view. Hence television.
