| 1926-01-26 | In 1926 John Logie Baird, the Scottish engineer, first demonstrated the television to 50 scientists in an attic in London, England.
In 1925, Baird demonstrated the first working television system, using a mechanical method to transmit grayscale images. In 1926, he showcased the first public demonstration of television, marking a major milestone in the technology’s evolution. Baird also pioneered early experiments with colour television and stereoscopic (3D) television. A year later in 1927 American inventor Philo Farnsworth (from where the professor on Futurama got their name) made advancements in transmitting images, which he first demonstrated in 1927, but some erroneously accredit him with the invention of the television. |
