Invention of Television.

In modern times, Television has become almost indispensable. This is because it not only enables us to hear but also gives us the visual glimpse of events taking place in far off cities, countries and even continents instantaneously or within a short time. Although this important communication device was not developed in a single day, the most important contribution in the development of Television was made by John Logic Baird.
The credit of building the first practical television goes to Scottish engineer John Logic Baird in 1923. He built an eight-line-scan television system that he patented.
In 1926, Baird's television made history as it relayed the first television broadcast in the United Kingdom.
The Bell Telephone Company, through telephone lines, broadcast television images from Washington to New York in 1927.
In 1928, the first Trans-Atlantic broadcast from London to New York was conducted using short waves.
In 1830, the BBC began telecasting on Baird's television.
In 1935, a television transmitter was installed on top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris and in 1936, it was installed on top of the Empire State Building in New York city.
The First coloured television was built in 1928 by John L.Baird. But it was with Japan's Sony Corporations Trinitron that colour television became more popular.
