First television
broadcasting was a huge event. Some Scottish inventor invented television and
was very happy about it. The first face that was seen on television was an office
boy, William from the same building. In the
20th century there were many inventions,
but in my opinion television was the biggest. Without television we wouldn’t have anything
that we have today. Not even computers. In almost 100 years television has been
extremely upgraded. Firstly it was 30 lines of black and white images and now
besides colorful television we have extremely high resolution. Even 8K.

It's hard to say if something was bigger invention, because it's subjective to say so. In my opinion there are a lot of better inventions than TV. Some of them are: new drugs for different diseases, new technologies that are eco friendly and tries to save our planet etc.
When it comes to scale hmmm maybe computers, smartphones and internet were something bigger, but I'm not sure because I have not checked any data so I'm just guessing.
This is hard question, if there was bigger invention - probably ones, that lead to it and made it possible to make TV and other devices. I think that electricity was important, phone - as it helped to communicate, computer - as it has got many applies (work, entertainment), some medical machines, as they support healthcare.
Cartoons had to be the first show to be shown on TV :)
Invention of TV was a great deal but I think that there is one bigger invention in the world which came to my mind. I’m talking about internet. None of us can imagine world without it nowadays and the way it revolutionized everything is enormous. Without internet, we couldn’t have possibility to take part in this course 😊
I think were something else at that time. Computer, Cars, Phones and etc.
Computer better, because thanks Steve Jobs we are using now for everything ( game, design, coding) , because before computer was only for calculations. Phones where in the past everyone used only for a call, now phone it's future.
I don't think television was the biggest invention of all times - there were many more greater that that. But even those smaller inventions were steps to something bigger, so I think it was important.
I think bigger invention is the Internet. It's because it revolutionised the world much more. It had impact on almost anything we know: schools, business, ways of communication, healthcare and so on. We now prefer to send mails rather than handwritten letters. Also Internet is getting more popular source of information or entertainment than TV.
While TV is indeed a great invention there is another, greater: an Internet. The invention of the Internet has great inpact on our lives- we have such easy access to various kind of knowledge, entertainment. And we can be in touch with our friends from around the world. The Internet has its drawback but still is it the greatest invention
Yes,definitely there were another inventions, maybe not certainly in 20's century,but what would you say of phone's invention?
There are a lot of things that we can't image our life without them. Phone,computers, kitchen's appliance(modern ones) and others. Also antiperspirant is a big invention for a lot of people i think.
Is the second question only about 20's century? If you are asking about all the inventions I think that one was bigger... invention of the light bulb (21 X 1879). It caused a revolution in our way of living. Can you imagine TV without that?
If you are asking only about 20's century I don't about any bigger invention than TV. It was very important in our life but it based on other inventions from other centuries of course.
I believe the radio was also very big invention, even bigger than TV. It changed warfare completely and originated "real-time" news. TV was just a extension of that idea. The Internet is also the invention I'd call very important. It changed the world similarly to radio and gave casual people "the power" they didn't have before.
Currently, television programs are rather low quality and don't bring us many benefits. In addition, watching television is associated with a lot of ads that are not very interesting.
Well, I reckon television is one of the most prominent inventions of the XX century, however I would add to the list the invetion of engine, radio, internet, telephone, nuclear weapon( it brings destruction) etc. Today I can imagine my life without TV however my childhood was spent in front of home TV-set. I think that the invetion of the Internet gave us some possibilities, because due to it we have access to almost everything, including television. The Internet seems to be much more wider.
Of course I would, cause why not? :D That would be funny.
Yes, there is another BIGGER invention, and it's called The Internet.
Nowadays more people(including me) are watching things on YouTube, Netflix etc. or they just surf the Internet. These days Television is full of advertisements or stupid things like "Ukryta prawda" etc. The only time when I'm watching TV is when I'm back home from Warsaw. The only channels I watch are Animal Planet, Discovery, National Geographic and Nat Geo Wild.
2.Do I think there was another bigger invention? Yup. The Internet.Why? Well because you can have any book and any movie from wherever you want and whenever you want (possibly for free) if you have it :D
I think that the bigger invention is the Internet. Thanks to it we can just share all our knowledge and experience all around the world. Internet made learning, exploring infinitely easier. The information now is cheap, available all the time and from every place of the world. Nowadays you can just solve almost very possible problem with just a knowledge obtained from internet. It is almost sure, that problem you are facing right now was solved by someone before. Of course there are some dangers connected with the Internet, because a lot of informations are wrong, but you can always check if the source is trustworthy or not.
In the category of media the global network beats up the television. The computers, networking, optical-fiber cables, those might be the next level television, derived from it and those changed the world in a similar way to the TV but way more than it and in a more interactive way.
Some people said that Internet was a greater invention- Its hard to agree, as "The internet" was an achievement of many professors and other scientists, and funded by army (also designed to withstand attacks and be otherwise nuke-proof):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET
So it's hard to agree with internet being greater invention than TV, made from coffin wood and some discs, which could actually send pictures over distance.
I think bigger inventions might include penicillin and some other things that saved millions of lives.
I Think the next big invetion it will be VR google and to watching TV as a first person on the screen. We can do interaction with people on TV and watch screen 360. World going high with technology so i think this innovation is good and more comfortable.
It's hard question... I don't know but I rather shy so answer is no, I don't
2. Do you think there was another bigger invention?
If we're talikng about 20th century then it's clear that there were no bigger invension.
3.If yes, why do you think it was better?
