You could argue, as I am, that television was not invented by a single inventor. Everyone has their opinion what was the first television set.

The word " television " was first used at the 1900 World's Fair in Paris by Constantin Perskyi.

I'm sorry that's not the answer I have here. 1926 John Logie Baird.

We'll have to get help from our judges on this one....


....they accept 1900 Constantin Perskyi!
