90th Anniversary of the first demonstration of Television
Google celebrates the 90th anniversary of the day “an eccentric Scottish inventor herded a small group of Royal Institution scientists into his London apartment and showed them the future.”
John Logie Baird, who’d been working on a “televisor” apparatus for much of his career, was the first person to publicly demonstrate the system that would spawn the modern-day television. His discovery sent shockwaves through the scientific community, and certified his legacy as one of the 20th century’s great innovators.
