The Invention of Television, Super Glue and Frisbee Essay

Television The beginning of TV can be tracked back to the discovery of photoconductivity back in 1873 by Willoughby Smith. TV was invented in the mid 1920’s by a Scottish inventor name John Logie Baird in London. Baird patented technology by using arrays of transparent rods to transmit images to be delivered to a television set. The first picture of moving object was transmitted by Baird in 1924, televised human face in 1925, and last but not least the first real – time moving object in 1926. The first color broadcasting was arrived in United States in 1953 and the first color commercial was televised in 1954 and soon television became the leading source for national advertising. Television was first demonstrated in 1939 at New York†¦show more content†¦Coover was actually trying to make a clear plastic gun sight to be used in World War 2 by the allied soldiers but it failed. Although his formula for the gun sight didn’t quite work out the way he had expected to be , but it did work extremely well for a quick bounding substance. Since Coover’s goal was to make a gun sight he quickly abandon the formulation for the super glue quickly since it was way too sticky. It wasn’t until 9 years later during 1951 with Coover working at Eastman Kodak, he was supervisor for a project looking for a heat resistance glue for jet canopies. Which later on lead back to the rediscovery of super glue, he then tested it by spreading it between a pair of refract meter prisms. The testing was great the prisms stuck together very well and solid and this time Coover didn’t abandoned the idea of super glue. He realized the product was amazing and it can bond to variety of material and all it took to activate the glue was to add a little bit of water. In 1958 super glue was finally put on the mark and it wasn’t called super glue but instead it was called â€Å"Eastman#910†, then later on changed to Loctite â€Å"Quick Set 404† an d finally named to Super Glue. I think super glue is one of those product where it is in our life but we don’t notice, it but once it isn’t in our life we will be majorly impacted. Whenever we need to fix something or put something to gather super glue always come into play but we just never
