Although many people claim television was invented by Philo Farnsworth in America, it was actually invented by John Logie Baird, a Scotsman who carried out his research in London England. He first demonstrated his system in 1925 and it was in commercial use by 1929.
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.
