What led to the invention of the TV?

Answer 1

People needed some Visual entertainment. The general answer is that Marconi having invented Radio, visual communication was the net step...thats what the Pioneer of the Television John Logie Baird provided. John Logie Baird (August 13, 1888 - June 14, 1946) was a Scottish engineer and inventor of the world's first working television system in Hastings, England in 1923. An official blue plaque marks the house where this took place. Hastings Museum hold various pieces of related correspondence. A further demonstration subsequently took place in a department store, Selfridges, in London England, by Mr Baird himself. This took place in 1925. The system was successful enough to become commercialised, and the BBC began the world's first regular television broadcasts, using the Baird system, In 1927, Baird transmitted a long-distance television signal over 438 miles (705 km) of telephone line between London and Glasgow; Baird transmitted the world's first long-distance television pictures to the Central Hotel at Glasgow Central Station. He then set up the Baird Television Development Company Ltd, which in 1928 made the first transatlantic television transmission, from London to Hartsdale, New York.

Answer 2

John Logie Baird used his hands. :)
People wanted to visually see the speaker that was giving them information.

They were also getting tired of just listening to the radio.

With Marconi having invented Radio, John Logie Baird pioneered visual communication... it was the next step up.

He then set up the Baird Television Development Company Ltd, which in 1928 made the first transatlantic television transmission, from London to Hartsdale, New York.

In 1939, Baird showed color television using a cathode ray tube in front of which revolved a disc fitted with colour filters, a method taken up by CBS and RCA in the United States. In 1941 He patented and demonstrated a system of three dimensional television at a definition of 500 lines. On 16 August 1944 he gave the world's first demonstration of a fully electronic colour television display.

It was Philo Farnsworth who invented the TV. When he was young he always dreamed of being an invetor. At the age of 14 his science teacher was shown his idea of using rows and collumns to produce pictures.
