Television.

Charles Babbage had a plan for a mechanical computer (the Analytical Engine) in 1837, and it could be made using modern manufacturing techniques-but although Babbage spent a fortune trying to build on no such computer ever actually existed. (His son demonstrated an important part of it, the "mill", not a whole working machine.) The first experimental computers were built in the very late 1930s, but these were all special-purpose devices, not programmable general-purpose computers. The first Turing-complete programmable computer was the Z3 in 1941. The first computer commercially available was the Ferranti Mark 1 in 1951, and the first computers available as consumer goods were in about 1970.

On the other hand experimental television were demonstrated in 1925 by John Logie Baird, and the first electronic television was demonstrated in 1926 by Kenjiro Takayanagi. There were demonstration broadcasts in various countries in 1928. Regular television broadcasts began in November 1936. TV was available in homes before the first working computer was demonstrated.

What invention has the most influenced modern times airplane television automobile computer?

tv, cz dat was the first invention for every one to lern for other invention EDIT: actually, computers are in almost everything. I should have done that for my paper but now i am stuck with the airplane! See, computers are in cell phones, cars, televisions, and airplanes, so it is fundamentally the most important! And the airplane came before the TV just so you know. The airplane was invented in 1903, actually. But automobiles were probably before that so i know TVs were not first. Computer was last.
