	How "Stereoscopic" Television is Shown
		Television images in, apparently, three dimensions were demonstrated for the first time on August 10 in the Baird Laboratories in Long Acre, before an audience of scientists and representatives of the press.
		Stereoscopic television gives the image the appearance of solidity and depth, so that it does not look like a flat picture, but like an actual living object.
		By applying the stereoscope principle to television, it has now become possible to transmit television images with all the appearance of depth and solidity; and, by a further combination of colored television with stereoscopic television, the complete illusion of images in natural colors, and with depth and solidity becomes possible.

		But Boston was no stranger to television-- the history of this mass medium goes all the way back to the late 1920s, and a story which most people today (including the residents of the town where the pioneering experiments first took place) have probably never heard.
		The advances occurring in television technology were still followed mainly by those engineers directly involved, such as General Electric’s highly respected Ernst Alexanderson, who gave a public demonstration of a “home television set” in Schenctady NY in January of 1928.
		When they saw the 1928 version of television, they failed to see the fuzzy images and distorted audio as something thrilling; to them, television was just not ready for the general public, and no matter what its proponents claimed, it was not worth writing about yet.
