Baird's invention of television
Baird's invention of television involved developing a system to transmit live moving images wirelessly. In the late 1920s, John Logie Baird created a device that converted visual images into electrical signals, transmitted them via radio waves, and then reconstructed them as images on a screen. His pioneering work combined the principles of scanning images line-by-line (using a spinning disk called the Nipkow disk) and broadcasting signals wirelessly. This innovation laid the groundwork for modern television technology by demonstrating that moving images could be transmitted and received electronically, transforming visual communication and entertainment.
