| 1873 | Belgian engineer Zenobe Gramme who developed DC generator accidentally discovered that a DC generator also works as a DC motor during an exhibit in Vienna. |
| 1873 | The transfer of pictures to signals. Two scientists named Smith and May experimented with selenium. It helped them figure out that they could transform pictures into signals to be sent over wires more easily. |

| 1879 | Thomas Alva Edison introduced a long lasting filament for the incandescent lamp. |
| 1880 | Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison came up with the Photophone. It could transfer sound, but they aimed for it to do the same with pictures at a higher quality. |
| 1882 | First thermal power stations in London and New York |
| 1884 | A man named Paul Nipkow figured out how to send multiple pictures through wires. He used a rotating disk to move the pictures. |
| 1888 | German physicist Heinrich Hertz proved the that electro magnetic waves travel over some distance. (First indication of radio communication) |
| 1888 | Italian physicist and electrical engineer Galileo Ferraris publishes a paper on the induction motor and Serbian-American engineer Nikola Tesla gets a US patent on the same device[3][4] |
