The invention of television involved many inventors, but John Logie Baird of Scotland is credited with the first live TV demonstration in 1926. He developed a mechanical television system using spinning disks to scan and display images.
Later advancements led to electronic television, pioneered by inventors like Philo Farnsworth. Television changed global culture by providing real-time news, entertainment, and education. It remains one of the most influential inventions of the 20th century.
