April 7, 1927 –
An audience in New York saw an image of Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover in the first successful long-distance demonstration of television. Hoover’s image and voice were transmitted across telephone lines. Edna Mae Horner, an operator at the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, assisted the transmission and became the first woman on television.
Unfortunately, this was not a demonstration of a time machine and Hoover didn’t get a message about the upcoming Great Depression.
