According to the wiki, it was invented in the 1930s. Its not fictional, it's a theoretical model of a working machine. The concept existed prior to the existence of computers. Would the inventor of image broadcasting owe credit of their invention to the inventor of the camera?

>The OPs headline is incorrect. You can’t say he invented “television” when he didn’t and wasn’t the first to demonstrate a television broadcast.
This is like saying the inventor of the home computer didn't invent it because the Turing machine already existed.

I remember when these came out. They vibrated the song against your teeth and used your mouth as the speaker. It was weird.
