Television was first successfully demonstrated in 1927 by Philo Farnsworth. The Internet originated in the 1950s as a government project and has since evolved to be used for communication and sharing data by scientists and researchers. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, pop-up ads were invented and became common on websites, often displaying advertising, before browsers enabled users to block unwanted pop-ups.

Francisco on Sept. 7, 1927. The system was designed by Philo
Taylor Farnsworth, a 21-year-old inventor who had lived in a
house without electricity until he was 14.

time. The Internet got its start in the United States more than 50
years ago as a government weapon in the Cold War. For years,
scientists and researchers used it to communicate and share
data with one another. Today, we use the Internet for almost
everything, and for many people it would be impossible to
imagine life without it.
