90th Anniversary Of The Mechanical Television

90th Anniversary Of The Mechanical Television Todays Google doodle marks the 90th anniversary of the first demonstration of the technology called the mechanical television. I bet you cannot imagine your life without TV this amazing window to the world. And yet it is only 90 years since it was invented by Scottish engineer and inventor John Logie Baird. He  demonstrated the first working television system on January 26, 1926  to a gathering of scientists and a journalist from The Times  in an attic room that served as his laboratory. Bairds  first television system sent images as electrical signals over telephone wires and later over radio waves. First images  Baird sent were a cross and a paper mask that he moved in front of the camera. He  made the first television programes for the BBC (British Broadcasting  Corporation). Even though  mechanical television technology produced faint and often blurred images and was quickly usurped by electronic television, Bairds first television system was  a major step in the development of television. That is why todays Google doodle decided to reminds us how it all began. Do you want to know more about history of the television or just need  a little extra help in history homework assignments?
