Today’s Google logo has been replaced with a doodle marking the 90th anniversary of the first demonstration of a television, and leads to a search for “who invented the mechanical television” that includes the quick answer John Logie Baird.
On January 26, 1926 in London’s Soho district, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird demonstrated the first television system for the Royal Institution and a reporter from London’s The Times. Calling his invention a “televisor,” Baird was able to transmit images of a person working a ventriloquist doll.
According to BairdTelevision.com, two days after Baird’s demonstration, London’s The Times reported on the historic event with skepticism: “It has yet to be seen to what extent further developments will carry Mr. Baird’s system towards practical use.”
Google’s John Logie Baird TV doodle is being displayed on its U.S. homepage, along with many international homepages, and includes a link to share the image on social networks and email.
