Although instead of TV merging with computers, we instead merged computers with TVs, creating the smart TV. And the "Bank where you can watch every program ever produced"? That's UA-cam, Netflix, and all the others.
Jeremy is the perfect host for talking about historical topics and at the end totally nailed where the world was going, this was shot in the year MMIV (57:52) aka 2004 which predates UA-cam by 1 year and smartphones by about 1-2 years. (not iPhones I mean Windows pocket PCs.)
Literally thought the exact same this was made nearly 20 years ago yet he got it down to even the sunglasses which I think apple have. Just recently done 😮😮
Clarkson brought up a great point about the 1960 Presidential debate. Kennedy wasn't just charming and charismatic but he looked more relaxed and at ease with being on television, especially in the way he looked directly into the camera, speaking to the American people. Even when he and Nixon are just sitting, Kennedy has his legs crossed, completely natural and Nixon seemed on the edge of his seat almost. It's amazing how much is communicated to us about a person non-verbally and TV gave us that. I'm not surprised at all that Kennedy won.
TV started out with just a few channels, now we have a channel for every single person. That is what internet on your phone/computer is, your very own channel. Except we don't call it Tele-Vision anymore, even though it clearly is, Wi-Fi is most definitely just radio waves, with some computer somewhere talking to a small computer in your smartphone/tablet. Words change, but at the fundamental core, Radio is still going strong. There are more radio waves than ever, and everyone has a computer now. We just call it a smartphone, but it is, once again, the exact same thing.
Two great inventors and benefactors of mankind often forgotten today, who changed our world: Alexander Cummings, inventor of the modern water-closets, and Eugène René Poubelle, prefect of Paris, inventor of the trash can. Just picture yourself what was the world before them...
wow, beautifully produced and clarkson called it at the end, watching this program specifically from a virtually endless bank of programs, straight from my phone and hopefully before I die I can rewatch it down the line in hologram format or maybe it will be virtual reality, time will tell.
More like Smart TV, which lets you access all of them from a big screen on the wall and not an actual computer, which tends to still be made for the "office", not for everybody to sit around at once. Though there's always multi-monitors or casting.
It is Tesla’s original concept, demonstrated in his famous lecture at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia in 1893. In 1943, six months after Tesla’s death, the United States Supreme Court recognized Tesla’s more significant contribution as the inventor of radio technology.
People keep griping about hours of television, but the truth is that people are just watching a well-edited version of what they would do anyway. Live theater, classroom learning, etc. have all been adapted to TV. Just because you're watching TV doesn't mean you have to be rotting your brain on Honey Boo Boo.
How lucky we are on these Islands that in England and Scotland we have two of the most influential and creative countries on the Planet.Even the Japenese have acknowledged this.
No Ryan, fact. See the thing is. You American folk hate other countries, having any success whatsoever. Do some research. Now stop being a butthurt little American. Good man.
Ryan Herich First demonstration of Television British.First Pictures sent from one room to another British.First Pictures sent across the Atlantic British.First Colour TV British.Mr Baird.
@@CoolioXXX52 No, your ignorant mind. No other nation has invented more or influenced the world more than Britain. Even your modern Democracy stems from Westminster Parliament London. In fact most of everything you have today, you can thank the British. Skyscrapers? Not without the British inventing building with metal beams & inventing plate glass! We even invented America itself! 😉
Many 'inventors' (innovative people who designed/developed unique technologies/products having specialized 'uses') never got rich. Many never even received non-monetary credit for bringing the world some of the devices upon which we all survive and advance. A 'patent' is only as good as the legal muscle the inventor can muster to defend their own 'right' to their own 'intellectual property'.
I think this definitely leaves out a lot on the history end, especially the "what happened after" stuff. For Baird: He actually ended up getting funded, ended up prototyping the first 3DTV and the first standard that would have been equivalent to 1080i, and a proper color standard. I think CBS was even funding him as they were trying to develop a hybrid mechanical/electric color set (basically there would be a spinning color wheel in front of a CRT to provide color signals). For Farnsworth: He actually had a LOT going on, even still with TV after RCA made their "own system". His patent situation was actually SUPER sticky for RCA for nearly a decade with legal issues. He ended up forcing RCA to license his 1927 CRT patent in the late 30s, and they had to pay him over $1M in that time's dollar. His company ended up getting bought by ITT in the early 50s and funded his Nuclear Fusion research (along with other projects like what eventually became the base radar tracking system for modern air traffic control) for 18 years, which then got taken over by Brigham Young University, and then by a private company that Farnsworth founded (which then imploded).
KieranMoggTV thanks, how nice of you. Frankly, I'd be happy with 1 percent of what he has, success, money and fame. I'd still be better off than the vast majority of people on this planet.
I just can't hold my laughter watching this whole show with my smile ear to ear all the way through, Baird's brilliance, determination and definitive of purpose has just ignited my spark, for quite a while I have been working on a project that I was yet to drop but now I am determined to stake everything I have no do nothing but make sure it's a success
The United Kingdom was at the forefront of innovation and Scottish inventors in particular should be thanked. Penicillin, treatment of malaria, the telephone, vacuum flask, percussion cap, radar etc. etc. and yes - the first television. Get over it - good program Jeremy.
Mundify66 no, thats just how Brits like to tell the history. The rest of the world has a different version of what happened. In Russia for example, it was a Russian American that invented Television, Zworykin. But his tv invention was based on inventions made by many others. What Baird did was illustrate the idea of TV was going to be. But mechanical tv is a piece of shit. It would never work.
Wow a lot of hatred here. One thing to note RCA ended up paying 1 million dollars to Farnsworth for the multi year license of his 1927 patent. It doesn't matter who or what country does these documentaries they don't always use in depth research into everyone involved in the development in a product. You need more time for research than is available and at times it might have been presented but was left on the cutting room floor as the saying goes. The editor is rarely a historian or even knowledgeable on the subject being filmed. Sadly many history books are the same.
He died from alcoholism from being Scottish, it's just the way they go up there. Keep away from Scotland when the zombies attack, all the ones up there will be pickled and rotproof.
In 1931, David Sarnoff of RCA offered to buy Farnsworth's patents for US $100,000, with the stipulation that he become an employee of RCA, but Farnsworth refused as this was a pittance - also farnsworth & baird MET IN PERSON IN 1932 - he never saw penny one mentioned above - he got more money from the Govt for nuke fusion research than he did for TV & that money was ONLY paid AFTER his death after nearly 2 decades of campaigning by the 2 dear old ladies in the documentary
The wireless radio is based on the discovery of electromagnetic waves by Heinrich Hertz in 1886. Guglielmo Marconi applied this discovery to the telegraphic transfer news: In 1897, he succeeded in a wireless transmission over a distance of five kilometers, in 1901, he radioed across the Atlantic. The technical foundations of broadcasting were in the late 19th Century by Nikola Tesla invented and patented. However, in 1895 a fire destroyed his finished plant.
Moral of the story? A business man of mediocre intelligence will always win over geniuses and take it all without doing any of the work. Higher minds are chained to visions and morals.
These Business men are the true Genius to be able make a Real practical product that humanity benefited and not tinker-toy that lives only in a laboratory. Most of these inventors are rather too focused on one thing but totally mediocre on most things.
He missed the proper way of describing how a television works: "Signals from the antenna goes in here and power goes in there. Witchcraft happens and you get picture on the screen."
Jagadish Chandra Bose was an Indian physicist who pioneered semiconductors. It was this work from an often forgotten man which allowed the invention of the valves which powered Colosus and the cathode ray tube which gave us television well into the early 21st century.
How on earth did they get the music from A Nightmare Before Christmas? Ive never seen any of Danny Elfmans work in a completely unrelated youtube video.
Im a Telecommunications Engineer (two way communications of all types) and I’ve never been a big fan of Broadcast media (one way communication). It could only ever be a propaganda platform than anything else. I would rather be talked to than to be talked at!
I love when they brought up John Logie Baird on the Grand Tour, when they bring up that the English call famous Scots ‘British’ so that they can subtly claim ownership of them. “When Logie Baird was messing about with pneumatic shoes, he was a Scottish crackpot. When he invented the television, he was a British genius.”
Not even mentioning Rozing and especially Zvorykin? When it was him who really made the camera and the vacuum tube& Who invented color TV? Is that because British are difficult pronouncing Russian names? I am rather surprised.
It's a good way of knowing if you've seen a vid - leave a comment, like comments. Happens to me too - and I don't drink. I've probably replied to you before and forgotten. What can you do?
Noticed the British bashing at the top of the comments, what alot of people don't know is my Grandad, a Brit, started the first ever independent TV station for the FBS, but coz it was a forces station was never officially recognised.
Marconi's "invention" was stolen by Marconi from Nicola Tesla (now proven in court). Marconi took the opportunity to pursue the wireless transmission after his close association with Tesla, where he learned of the idea.
He stole a lot of inventions. Tesla stole AC Alternator from a Hungarian company and Westinghouse just used him so he can use Tesla’s patent instead of buying the Hungarian patent. Tesla also stole the Brushless Motor from an Italian scientist who made a research paper years earlier.
Ref the last 5mins. Sat in my car watching it now on my phone. And still with the whole catalogue of everything thats been on, I'm watching old JC TV. Can't believe he lost an arm wrestle to BoJo, future commenter what did happen to him? Did the MET do their Job for his covid party's?
please everyone quit beefing. US invented the TV we use today but the BRITISH invented the TV first. it was a different type but it still was TV. also the British have better world records for TV such as the first the transmit a tv signal across the Atlantic. and they also made their TV system first so I suppose them made TV FIRST.
zachary159 It's amazing how people care more about the country that did whatever over the poor inventors of both countries who got fuck all for their work.
Clarkson colours outside the lines a lot, i think - lots of history here, and maybe gossip, but really thin on facts and technical details - where is James May, when you need him?
Holographic TV is not going to be a thing anytime soon. Nobody needs it and it's pretty much as achievable as a light saber. Plus, we already have efficient TVs so it makes no sense. Also, the TV as we know it has already been replaced by the internet so...
Watching this in 2023, on my computer via the Internet, whilst I play a game. This show knew what was coming.
Came to the comments to say the same thing
I like how he describes how tv sets will become obsolete, as I watch him on my phone.
I'm sitting in front of a huge TV screen right now, I could be watching that but I'm watching this on my phone instead.
Although instead of TV merging with computers, we instead merged computers with TVs, creating the smart TV.
And the "Bank where you can watch every program ever produced"? That's UA-cam, Netflix, and all the others.
Social media is the final nail in the coffin
Screening with MBP Retina 15' : )
I remember around 06 about 20 of us crowded round my phone watching live tv
Seems like no time at all has passed and we do it without a second thought
Jeremy Clarkson's witty narrative always has me in stitches!
Jeremy is a legend.. he can make a boring topic so good that i cant get enough of his documentaries.
Watching the end, this programme has already successfully predicted more technological progress than Tomorrows World.
Sitting here playing a hoi4 browsing youtube clarkson vids and watching this, he fuckin nailed it lmao
Jeremy is the perfect host for talking about historical topics and at the end totally nailed where the world was going, this was shot in the year MMIV (57:52) aka 2004 which predates UA-cam by 1 year and smartphones by about 1-2 years. (not iPhones I mean Windows pocket PCs.)
Literally thought the exact same this was made nearly 20 years ago yet he got it down to even the sunglasses which I think apple have. Just recently done 😮😮
It's high time he's given the title "Sir"
And as Jeremy foretold, so it has come to pass. Spot on.
I prefer spot on to Americanese 'on point'. On point to me sounds like please stay on topic.
What we have established at the end of this program that Jeremy is a GENIUS
"The television you're watching right now" :D
Hahahahahahah
+Commander Fluffy internet killed the tv star
Yeah, I liked that.
Pfffft, speak for yourself Jeremy. Mind you, this was 2004.
It was true at the time. A screen is a screen whether people call it television or computer or phone. Smartphone is a computer, phone and television.
Clarkson brought up a great point about the 1960 Presidential debate.
Kennedy wasn't just charming and charismatic but he looked more relaxed and at ease with being on television, especially in the way he looked directly into the camera, speaking to the American people.
Even when he and Nixon are just sitting, Kennedy has his legs crossed, completely natural and Nixon seemed on the edge of his seat almost.
It's amazing how much is communicated to us about a person non-verbally and TV gave us that. I'm not surprised at all that Kennedy won.
Can you imagine how utterly screwed we would be if Nixon had handled the Bay of Pigs episode. I truly shudder to think. Thank god for television.

let me spend a few years studying electronics and I'll get back to you with a snarky response 😂
Heartbreaking what happened to the inventers. Both men deserved more!
All scientist, all preachers and all inventers must answer to the money men.
The backgound music in this is brilliant. Lots of Nightmare before Christmas in here, and it's used appropriately too.
At 00:20 "... and without it I simply wouldn't have a job". Now there's a thought Jeremy.
Two great inventors and benefactors of mankind often forgotten today, who changed our world: Alexander Cummings, inventor of the modern water-closets, and Eugène René Poubelle, prefect of Paris, inventor of the trash can. Just picture yourself what was the world before them...
This is wonderful television indeed. 📺
wow, beautifully produced and clarkson called it at the end, watching this program specifically from a virtually endless bank of programs, straight from my phone and hopefully before I die I can rewatch it down the line in hologram format or maybe it will be virtual reality, time will tell.
Holy shit, Jeremy predicted UA-cam, Google Glass AND Smartphones.
Renko Usami And holograms. Microsoft hololens?

"sometimes my genius is almost frightening"

Google glass went well 😕
So he basically invented Nike air max too 😂
im literally learning history with clarkson as presenter and watching interesting things along with it lol

Jeremy Clarkson predicted UA-cam and Netflix?
no ,thats dumb
He kinda did, yes. He predicted the exact thing i'm doing now, watching this video while having a good time on Rust.
It's uncanny how soon (this was made in 2004) this all came true. Although, Google tried that glasses thing: didn't go so well.
Much like Nokia’s Smartphone made years earlier before the iPhone. It will soon get better.
AR glasses are making a move yet again, albeit with a $350 price range
Mr. Farnsworth and Mr. Baird could have called it the auto babysitter

In Clarkson's mind it is forever 1946. Britain has just won the war and the sun never sets on the British Empire.
I'd like to see you have the success he's had
KieranMoggTV thanks, how nice of you. Frankly, I'd be happy with 1 percent of what he has, success, money and fame. I'd still be better off than the vast majority of people on this planet.
***** bang on, the sun still doesn't set on british territories
***** LoL Canada and Australia?
You should watch his show on "Who Killed the British Motor Industry", where he demonstrates how far UK industry has fallen since 1946.
I just come to these things for the comments now, the arguments over who invented what and when really are hilarious
The 1930´s were not tv golden age, but were Hollywood (Cinema) golden days...
That´s well know and documented!!!
I just can't hold my laughter watching this whole show with my smile ear to ear all the way through, Baird's brilliance, determination and definitive of purpose has just ignited my spark, for quite a while I have been working on a project that I was yet to drop but now I am determined to stake everything I have no do nothing but make sure it's a success

its a shame the US keep trying to go through supreme courts and say it was their inventors that made the breakthrough when it just wasn't.

All this is based on the theoretical work of JC Maxwell, the brilliant Scottish mathematician, in 1862.
I feel so sad of him, he invented the TV with 10p and got no credit whatsoever.
So how were the pictures transmitted?
Moral of the story?
A business man of mediocre intelligence will always win over geniuses and take it all without doing any of the work.
Higher minds are chained to visions and morals.
Lasse Riise The world is ruled by the mediocre. They have the advantage of the masses and are not chained to morals.

@@inisipisTV Without those tinker-toys that take real passion and courage to make those "genius businessmen" would be nowhere.
Same here I found an a brand new Dell monitor manufactured in 2005 still in the box! Running dual monitors you get the best of both worlds!
He missed the proper way of describing how a television works: "Signals from the antenna goes in here and power goes in there. Witchcraft happens and you get picture on the screen."
yes - all these modern miracles, no idea how it's actually possible.
Nikola Tesla worked on sending radio signals before Marconi.
AC electric and lighting before Faraday...
I think he;s a brilliant entertainer.
That's hilarious that Nickson's speech was preferred on the radio but Kennedy looked less sleazy😂
Back when he had freedom of speech…
Thanks Jeremy!!
Keep it going!
Does anyone know where I can view the whole song at the end of this show? It sounds wonderful!
+Legend Length damn 2 years and finally a reply!! close but no cigar, thanks anyway :)

I never expected the Fight Club Dust Brothers score to show up here.
How on earth did they get the music from A Nightmare Before Christmas?
Ive never seen any of Danny Elfmans work in a completely unrelated youtube video.
He predicted the arrival of UA-cam!!!:))
When was this broadcast? I could've sworn it was after 2005 :P
It says in the last frame at the bottom. BBC MMIV (2004 in Roman numerals)
Watching this on my phone... so interesting
Im a Telecommunications Engineer (two way communications of all types) and I’ve never been a big fan of Broadcast media (one way communication). It could only ever be a propaganda platform than anything else. I would rather be talked to than to be talked at!
Looks like a one way comment pal
I love when they brought up John Logie Baird on the Grand Tour, when they bring up that the English call famous Scots ‘British’ so that they can subtly claim ownership of them.
“When Logie Baird was messing about with pneumatic shoes, he was a Scottish crackpot. When he invented the television, he was a British genius.”
Jeremy called it. The only thing he was wrong about was adverts: hey followed us in here!
Besides the music from Nightmare Before Christmas, it opens and closes with The Sun Always Shines on T.V. by Ah Ha
The size of that tv he pulled apart 😂, can’t find them nowadays, just crap digital ones that last a couple of year at most before the back light go 😂
is this Grado at 20:40?
I lived right around the corner of his little shop and summer cottage in Brownfield Maine. I personally knew his grandson.
@ 55:10 The very definition of Existentialism.... Watching Clarkson on utube, predicting utube.
I was wondering about black and white or monochrome television to colour television.
Actually been on the street in Rigby at 11:41. Cute little Idaho town.
Why the heck is some of the soundtrack on this show the nightmare before Christmas? Also how did they get licensing for that?
I was wondering the same thing. And the music for the first bit of Farnsworth's story is from A Beautiful Mind.
This entire video was recorded using the same technology they’re talking about.
Im Waiting Jeremy to Appear In My Living Room , It would be Funniest Day of My Life , He is Really Predicted Future.
0:28 is Clarkson on the telly. Literally.
Makes me wonder how much involvement Marconi had in that "fire" at Crystal Palace?
check out Nikola Tezla,, the reason you have lights in your houses and wireless technology
frisbyrb5 It's spelled Tesla dumbass.
thanks for the info Andro,, appreciated :)
frisbyrb5 No problem :-)

“Marconi is a good fellow. Let him continue. He is using seventeen of my patents.”

Not even mentioning Rozing and especially Zvorykin? When it was him who really made the camera and the vacuum tube& Who invented color TV? Is that because British are difficult pronouncing Russian names? I am rather surprised.
You inside my room? Cool
54:00 proof jeremys a time travler hes talking a out youtube befor it came out
I love how a whole town's image is build on a guy drawing a picture on a blackboard and not inventing anything ha ha.

I wonder what will happen to make UA-cam obsolete?
Had a laugh watching the last minutes on my Android.
Pranks on jewels, nutz on mount
Just small remark. Radio wasn't invented by Marconi but by Tesla.
I rarely watch tv anymore. Almost everything I watch is on my phone.
Marconi's "invention" was stolen by Marconi from Nicola Tesla (now proven in court). Marconi took the opportunity to pursue the wireless transmission after his close association with Tesla, where he learned of the idea.
Tell Lie Vision....Enough said!
Watching on my tablet and youtube oh how the world has changed,😁
31:53 & the now out of date tv licence was born
Nikola Tesla proved in court that he had already invented radio
He stole a lot of inventions. Tesla stole AC Alternator from a Hungarian company and Westinghouse just used him so he can use Tesla’s patent instead of buying the Hungarian patent. Tesla also stole the Brushless Motor from an Italian scientist who made a research paper years earlier.
Ref the last 5mins. Sat in my car watching it now on my phone. And still with the whole catalogue of everything thats been on, I'm watching old JC TV. Can't believe he lost an arm wrestle to BoJo, future commenter what did happen to him? Did the MET do their Job for his covid party's?
