Television owes its origins to many inventors. But it was the single-minded determination of an amateur John Logie Baird that led to the first live television broadcast. Born in Scotland in 1888 and educated in Glasgow John Logie Baird earned a living as a razor-blade salesman. In the 1890s Guglielmo Marconi showed that sound could be sent by radio waves. Baird became convinced that a similar system could transmit a picture. He spent most of his spare time working on his ideas in his tiny workshop without any commercial support. He had to use his own earnings to continue his research. In 1924 Baird successfully transmitted the general outline of a figure over more than three meters. He continued to experiment and on October 25 1925 transmitted a recognizable image of a doll. He ran down to the office on the ground floor and persuaded one of the boys to come upstairs. The boy became the first living image transmitted by television. Overnight Baird became famous and the money that he needed to continue his research was at that time made one from London to New York. He continued experimenting and spent his last years exploring the possibility of color television.
