数字化电视时代

 （约瑟夫·R·多米尼克.大众传播动力学:数字时代的媒介 第七版 ）

观众看到网上直播的"凯莉秀"，看到一个小小的，有点模模糊糊的边缘的现象，这似乎有点原始。在1920年代末，最早的电视实验者也紧张地看到微小的，模糊的图像。

在美国发展电视的二个人是不同的。斐洛法恩斯沃斯在16岁的时候在黑板用了图解法表示对一个电视系统的想法，在他的高中老师前面。法恩斯沃斯，一个个人主义和独行发明家，任职于发展他的所谓的形象剥离新装置，并于1930年最终获得专利。相比之下，弗拉基米尔兹沃尔金是一个组织人，第一次工作在美国西屋，然后在RCA。由1928年他完善了一个原始影像管摄像管。

TELEVISION IN THE DIGITAL AGE

（Joseph·R·Dominick.The Dynamics of Mass Communication: Media in the Digital Age. Seventh Edition ）

Viewers who watched the webcast of “The Drew Carey Show” mentioned above saw a tiny image, a little blurry around the edges, that looked a little primitive. During the late 1920s, the earliest experimenters with television were also straining to see tiny, blurry images.

The two men who developed television in the United States could not have been more different. At the age of 16, Philo Farnsworth diagrammed his idea for a television system on the chalkboard in front of his somewhat amazed high school teacher. Farnsworth, an individualistic and lone-wolf inventor, worked at developing his new device, which he called an image dissector, and eventually patented it in 1930. In contrast, Vladimir Zworykin was an organization man, working first with Westinghouse and then with RCA. By 1928, he had perfected a primitive camera tube the iconoscope.
