He wasn't wrong!

Post by Penny Tray »

It was 90 years ago today, but he wasn't wrong:-

GLASGOW HERALD
15 FEBRUARY 1928

THE NEW VERB “TELEVISED”

A full stop was “televised” by means of light and various apparatus before a large audience at the Royal Photographic Society, London, and last night.

Doctor Thorn Baker, who was lecturing on television, said:

“We have to get used to this new verb 'televised' because in the near future I am sure it is going to be used a good deal."
Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.
