2. ↑ television. Television is a technology that transmits visual and audio images. The term comes from Ancient Greek and Latin, meaning 'far sight.' First used in 1900 by Constantin Perskyi, it was known as 'telephote' and 'televista' in early proposals. Television evolved from the mechanical scanning of images, with the Nipkow disk, patented in 1884, playing a crucial role. Initially, TV signals were transmitted through terrestrial broadcasting, but now include coaxial cable, optical fiber, satellite systems, and the internet. Television sets have internal electronic circuits, including a tuner for receiving signals. Without a tuner, it's a video monitor.

Today, 79% of households worldwide own a television, with major manufacturers producing smart TVs.
