Hello everyone,Television is a device that brings an incident directly to our eyes when it happens in any corner of the world. Television has the glory and honor to show realistically and without exaggeration. Can you hear a voice on a box in 1922 when the world got radio?! The amazed world could never have imagined that in the next four years it would be able to hear voices and see images in a box. But it is the imagineers who make the inventions. We are about to meet someone who dreamed of displaying sound and light inside a box and gave the world a great device called television. His name is John Logie Baird. Marconi is the father of radio and Baird is the father of television.

John Logie Baird was born on 13 August 1888 in Helensburgh, near Glasgow, Scotland. He is the youngest of four children. His father was a priest who managed a large family on a meager income. Baird had been in poor health since childhood. That's why he doesn't have much interest in sports and entertainment. Baird received his primary education at an elementary school close to home. Baird had a keen interest in photography from an early age. At that time, English schools were teaching many conjugations. One of them was photography and Bird took a keen interest in it and served as the student president of the Photography Society. In his second year of work, Bird, along with a few friends, experimented with visual displays and moving images to lend a helping hand.

At the age of 17, he entered the Royal Institute of Technology, London, in the Department of Electrical Engineering, graduating with a first class. He later graduated from Glasgow University. While studying at the university, Baird believed that he could convert light into electrical signals using selenium cells, so he did research at home because he could not do the research at the university. He had always believed that electricity could transmit light and even talking pictures. After graduation, he joined a company as an assistant engineer. At the age of 26, he got a job in an electronics factory. Dissatisfied with all of that, Baird started his own hosiery business in stark contrast. But it didn't make much profit and then he started making jams and sauces that are spread on bread. Due to failing health, he had to give up that business as well.
