The scientist who changed the television
The prestigious award of the World Information Society was received by a Russian. Professor Mark Krivosheev is noted for his contribution to the development of international standards for digital interactive broadcasting. For half a century, the scientist has been surprising the world with his discoveries.
Information Society World Telecommunication Day was celebrated in one of the UN Geneva offices, and did so, in contrast to the name, quietly and inconspicuously. They simply awarded people without whom society would never have become either informational or informed. The most prestigious award for the development of international standards for digital interactive broadcasting was presented to Professor Krivosheev, and he immediately redirected it to colleagues.
“Today’s event, from my point of view, plays an exceptional role for Russia, since television must be international,” said Mark Krivosheev, chief researcher at the Radio Research Institute, doctor of technical sciences. “These works saved many billions of rubles and decades, because they absorbed the minds of the best scientists, the most advanced companies.” Krivosheev was the first who managed to bring television to an international standard and put an end to chaos.
Over the past 50 years televisionchanged society, and professor Krivosheev changed television. It is said about a man who has been foreseeing these changes for 60 years in a row as a real futurologist, ahead of time by a quarter of a century, as was the case with digital broadcasting. Back in 48, he surprised the world by spreading the image into 625 lines, and in the recent 2000, George Lucas admitted that without Krivosheev’s technology there wouldn’t be any new Star Wars episodes.
