The first television was shown to the world in 1925, approaching a century ago. It was the invention of John Logie Baird, a Scot working in England. The "Televisor", as he called it, really wasn't very good but Baird's work was remarkable nonetheless. The quality was limited by the technology of the time and of course, because Baird was the first to do it.

There are many inventions that didn't work well. The process of development takes a raw invention and turns it into high quality and useful products. Baird's work paved the way for many other brilliant minds to improve the invention and so develop the televisions we watch today.
