In the late 1500s, a large powerful gun was placed on top of the Signal Hill, in Newfoundland, to prevent attacks from the outside. Flags were also flown there to warn sailors of bad weather. It's fitting, then, the Italian Gulielmo Marconi should have chosen this site（场所） to receive the world's first radio signal - in Morse code - from England on December 12, 1901.
Marconi, combining earlier ideas with his own, led us to a new communications age. For the next 50 years, until the appearance of television, radio ruled the air waves.
Today, it's the TV that rules. No single person can say to have invented television.
In 1884, the German Paul Nipkow invented a device (设备) that sent pictures mechanically (机械地), and in 1906, Boris Rosing, a Russian, used a ray and a disc to create the world's first TV system. Then in the early 1920s, another Russian, Vladimir Zworykin，invented a picture display tube. He took out a patent (专利) for color TV, even though it wouldn't be developed for another 25 years.
In 1924, a Scot entered the scene - John Logie Baird. He first succeeded in sending a moving picture and a year later got the first actual TV picture. In 1926, Baird showed TV in a London laboratory. Two years later in New York, Felix the Cat became the first TV star.
TV excited everyone's imagination, but hardly anyone had a set, with just two thousand in use worldwide in the mid-1930s.
Since the late 1940s, TV technology has developed very quickly. Computers may finally be combined with all televisions to give people a total all-in-one communications network.
Today, it's possible to sit and watch TV in the middle of a forest or in the Arctic. It's surpris-
ing when one considers that Marconi was on Signal Hill in the same century.
